RAF Form 414, Vol 26

As you may recall I was undergoing the training course for the Tornado F3 Air Defence Variant having completed four previous flying tours.  Now being a senior officer it made the job of working as a student again a little more bearable.

The Old Pilot’s logbook tales continue:

An RAF Tornado Air Defence Variant

67° wing sweep

Ait to Air refuelling from the wing stations of an RAF VC10

We watched in horror as a motley collection of hanger queens and scruffy excuses for aeroplanes were delivered, bent and leaking, onto our aprons
