Re: L-39s tie-ups 1989 and 1993

Bangladesh AF 314 has c/n 365314. Maybe the first 2 digits were changed to reflect different date of manufacture. I visited Vodochody in August 1984 and saw from 5305 to 5327 on the line excluding 5313 and 5314.

Re: Argosy...

CCF camp at Cottesmore and had 6hr trip in 115 sqn Argosy calibrating Lands End Tacan and other bits. Great stuff. Only shame was if had been on mission the day before there was a lunch stop at Lossiemouth. Not to worry, an experience never to be repeated

Re: A pair of Providers

Abiding memory of Dobbins open house in 1979 when 3 C123s did a formation flypast spraying what I hope was water. I trust the tanks had been well cleaned of Agent Orange!!

Re: Odiham Dump Whirlwind April 1985

This piqued my interest. I saw 4 dead Whirlwinds at Odiham on 4 December 1981 and only read XP333/G. Are these the same 4 a few years later?

If you have access to MSF, the late Eric Chapman's logs include Gutersloh for July 1975. The list is staggering!
