Good Morning

I have been checking Mildenhall Show Reports in Scramble for the 1977 show they have 61-0296 KC135Q as some on the field , in my records i have 61-0296 as w/o 26/09/76 in Missouri .
Can any body tell me which is correct please

EC-135H 61-0286 was at the show, I've not got '296 as being there

Agree with Undertaker. Have checked my own log and SEAR - no mention of 10296, only based EC-135H of 10ACCS as the closest option 10286 .

In my own log nothing on 61-0296 thought Scramble was wrong

Thanks for the reply

One obvious thing that stands out is that KC-135Q serials were limited to within only the FY58, FY59 and FY60 serial blocks, so if it was a "Q" that was being reported, the serial has to be wrong.

Sadly, my logs for 1977 (and before) have gone, but I do know that of the "Q" serials that I had seen by that date, not one looked anything like 61-0296 (which had been written off by then anyway).
Cheers, Bob
