Hello
Bit of a long shot, first day working at RAF Lyneham 6th March 2000 and on or shortly after that date a Polish Air Force( or possibly Czech) Tu-154 on the far side of the airfield. Did anyone else see it and manage to get the registration. Many thanks. Mick

I think there was only 1 Czech TU-154 in service at that time - Serial 1016 - it was very active that year.

Hiya
Many thanks for that. Looking at the respective colour schemes at the time, and what I remember could well of been the czech.
Remember Hawk XX174 too. One and only Valley Hawk l did a major servicing on at Abingdon, all the rest being TWU examples
