REQ Marham - May 1985 - Portuguese A-7’s

Post by Arthur Tee » Sat Apr 04, 2020 11:16 am

Very much a long shot...
I noted 2 x A-7 Corsair (accompanied by two Tonkas) at low level near Stratford-upon-Avon at 1145 hrs local on 7th May 1985.
Anyone have a log that includes departure times?

'BAR' isn't any more specific than to confirm that an exchange took place between the FAP's Esc 302 and 617 Sqn and involved A-7Ps 5522, 5523, 5529 and 5535, the four aircraft arriving on 30/4 and departing on 9/5. They were accompanied by Esc 501 C-130Hs 6804 on arrival and 6805 on departure.

Thanks Mate. I suppose we are spoilt nowadays with times on the digital photos.
Shame we hadn’t got the same back then!
