Re: MASDC B-57's
Brilliant stuff, I saw all but four of these at DM in 1987, great days back then when you could walk amongst them.
Re: MASDC B-57's
Hi Keith,

Re: MASDC B-57's
Hope you don't mind but managed to find a shot kindly supplied at the time by good mate Dave Tuplin.
A look back through notes showed it worked out of Binbrook from 18th - 24th August. 54266 also visited on 23rd August over from Karup in Denmark where 5 were detached from the 17th DSES at Malmstrom AFB/Montana for exercise 'Oskboel 78'
