Nice shots STCAAMEkid if you spent any time around crash gate 3, then its a fair bet you met my father Terry Senior, or even when the school holidays permitted me.

I did escape from school in 1986 and remember the last days of the LTF and the rest of the fleet

Happy days :clap:

This was taken at leconfield in 76 during bolthole, the 3 and 5 ventral tank was prone to leaks and a pig to fit at times.Just to add the a/c is XS416
