Glad to see PA474 still flying, as I worked on her in 1978!

I reckon that I took this in 1978 when I was at Coningsby during the Leuchars Bolthole :-)

43C396 Maybe PS915 SPIT is this aircraft still active? I've not seen it for a few years.

Edit PS915 still active but it does not answer the question about the mode-s

43C398 Showed up on my box today at 13:00 with PS915 in the call sign

Not brilliant shots - and a bit off topic, but a reminder of times gone by :-)

Is that a brace of F-5s lurking in the background ?

Certainly is Dave

Allocator, can you remember when those photos were taken?

How long were you there?

I was there from late 1977 to early 1980.  I'd guess that I took these in 1978 or 1979.

Just before me.

I was there from Mid 1979 (well arrived one day, and moved to Kinloss the next day) and left in 1983. Wonderful place and had a brilliant time on both 111 and 43

As you say its a very small world.

Great photos though, brings back many happy memories

I spent a week in 1967 hanging over the fence while on holiday at St Andrews  :-)

Stayed at Lossie during my time there, but worked from Kinloss

Only problem with Lossie was the food, it was awful, something about the cooks selling it on!!
