Anyone have the serials of the b52s at Marham for the 1970,1971,1972,1976 and 1977 bombing comp.
I also logged b52ds 55-0071,55-0080 and 56-0964 I believe at Marham but when?
Cheers Chris

I logged all three at Marham on 12/05/1980. Bombing competition?

Can't help on the earlier ones, I'm afraid. No doubt Mr. Luxton can.

rh226 - I logged the ones as per your report 12.05.1980 on the 27.04.1980 under the heading Exercise "Open Gate" but I do have one as 60694 not 60964

just checked BARG for those to make sure I have them down correctly and yes they were a Busy Brewer det, but they BARG also have it as the Exercise "Open Gate"

Weazel69, Nighthawke and Graham

Yes, it was indeed 60694 and is in my log as such. My eyes read what they expected to read!!

Pre competition visits to Marham were conducted by all 4 Bomb Wings for the 1970 event as follows :
57-6469 2BW and 58-0158 320BW in late Feb
60-0037 379BW and 61-0016 319BW in early Mar

The same a/c returned for the competition in Apr with the exception of 57-6469 which was replaced by 59-2583.
