Just looking at my 1997 log for the Buckley query, I noticed my own screw up -

86005 ?? C-18/B707?

I am not even sure of the type but it may have been a B707 type!

The main reason for the drive were a pair of AMX and 4 AV F-16 in Lakenheath

Plus 12422 CH-124 in Docklands

98-6005 Boeing 707, which carried its serial as 86005.

It was (again/still ?) at Mildenhall on 13/12/1997........https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1564124

Awesome

C/n 19529 saw it as Singapore A/L

Thanks for taking the time

Yeah, saw it as Arrow Air in Mildenhall(!) and previously as Singapore A/L.

And showing my age, before that noted at LHR on delivery to the then Malaysia-Singapore Airlines as 9M-AQB on 02/03/1971.

Saw it at Fairford in Sep'98 using a Reach c/s. Believed to have a Special Forces connection as a SF exercise was taking place at the time.

Could you confirm the AMX serials please, I saw two on the 5th along with 5x F16 -
AV
87-350
89-035
89-038
89-039
31st OG (88-532)

Cheers

In my log I have
MM7193/ 54-64
MM7173/ 2-16

I can't remember if I read them off ( unlikely ) or I knew from somewhere what the serials were!

Brilliant,

Hope you had a good day at Marham

Thanks
