Retros arriving.

Post by gary1701 » Mon Jun 22, 2020 9:28 pm

Gents,

I figured I was all Apached out after the last couple of weeks so went over to Mildenhall/Lakenheath for the afternoon. Mildenhall was pretty much a waste of time but moved over to Lakenheath for the Retro flight, despite not really being sure where they were going because of the 'hole'! They made 06, which was nice as that put Lt Allen's dedication on the near side.

They are removed at LN before going to PDM. They will be refitted before going back onto the flight line.
