REQ: Coronet Brave - Finningley - 12/06/1982

[Aerovision]

12 x Illinois ANG F-4Ds arrived at Finningley on 12/6/1982 under "Coronet Brave".

My log for that day is a little vague with some of the tie-ups, and I have found conflicting information online.

The two queries are:
66-7556 or 66-7596
66-7723 or 66-8723

For the record, the other 10 were: 66-7583; 7589; 7652; 7663; 7701; 7705; 7726; 7730; 7766 & 8705

If anyone can confirm either of the above queries, very much appreciated.

Thank you Mike.

My notes from many years ago were correct, but the variations were found elsewhere, leaving me questioning my accuracy. I have never got round to logging up 1978-1992, but have all as raw notes. Now retired, it will be slow but rewarding progress......
