Remember this well but little activity the day I went - only 2 pairs launched as I recall but probably the most exotic type to use the Range. An earlier planned deployment (the previous year I think) was cancelled due to the Foot & Mouth outbreak.

Fantastic machines. Was lucky enough to see them at Waddo in 94, 97 and 2003.

Thank for sharing. :thumb:
