110 FS F4Cs @ Leeming '82

Post by F3 » Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:54 pm

Motivated by Paddyboy's interesting post here's a few pics of Missouri ANG F4Cs @ Leeming in summer '82 on another Coronet deployment all taken from outside the airfield so apologies for the stuff in the foreground.

Thanks for putting me straight on a couple of points guys. Always been under the misapprehension that the nickname was Happy Hooligans for some reason but apparently they don't have one at all according to Rene Francillon's book on the ANG. Also thanks for reminding me that it was actually 1982. Let's put that down to a senior moment on my part! Otherwise pleased with the positive comments.

Excellent post F3 - personally I think the support equipment in the foreground adds to the picture / composition

Would be interested in seeing more!

Cheers

Thanks Herbert. Mr Francillon neglects to mention that in his USAF ANG opus!

Superb, these were at Leeming for Coronet Cactus and deployed from 26 June to 9 July 1982.

Have a look at http://sharpshooter-maj.com/html/deploy82.htm

I remember that during early july 1982 a fourship paid a visit to RAF Wildenrath on at least two days. I will look for the negatives if I find the time the coming weeks.
