Hi Spike, in what year/s did you serve at Church Fenton?
 
I knew you too - Saxa Vord 88-89. I was the dashing barrier-up technician that would run around the hills trying to beat the bus down.
 
Yes isn't that Slappy Hunter escorting the AOC there who was the CO at Saxa in the late 80s?

Sqn Ldr Peter Hunter? No fan of the Bristows aircrew as i remember!
You must have been there when "Ron" lost the sea kayaks and we published the The Unst Bastrad (of which i still have a copy).
