Things we used to do

I suppose we could pride ourselves on a high standard of workmanship, but sometimes it was more a case of getting home, or getting the required number of aircraft away on somthing important. As leckies we were known to insert the odd nail instead of a fuse, to get to the other end, sometimes cigarette paper round a fuse, maybe just to keep the relight going and keep an engine functioning. Taking the firewire controllers out of one aircraft and putting it into the one due to leave was a common activity, usually with a wipe on the overalls to make it work better!

What a odd picture

The Tornado drops the bombs, it only had two available stations, the Bucc could carry many more bombs, allbeit some in the bomb bay, non Pavespike, and also carry the paveway pod, so these two buccs were way better than the tornado.
