Req: Creek Party KC-97's 1971

Post by Crus8der » Mon Aug 13, 2018 9:30 pm

Hi,
Scrolling through existing 'Creek Party' requests - I can't see any pre 1976 so:
3 x KC-97's tracked Woodley - Dover in the early evening of 8th May 1971and one was actually visible from the South Downs in the clear evening air.
Hoppy 34, 35 & 36 of which '36' was 52-0869 (the controller asked the crew the tail number!)
Unfortunately, both '34' and '35' went by without the same request and it was 'Hoppy 35' that I saw.
I would have checked BARG back in the day. Any offers? Cheers

Looking back through my old logs I too have 52-0869 for that date, plus 52-0892. I am afraid though that I do not have the call signs.
