tomorrow sees the end of an Era for me. Sunday is the day, I leave Leuchars [temporaraly] and move to Coningsby. This spells the END of a 15 Year TORNADO career for me. I am sad to see the end of the old girl, and have spent many good times on the beast, but times are changing, and I will be starting my Typhoon Era on Monday Morning. So, if anyone is in the CBY area, I may see you around, at least until we move back north with the might 6 Sqn

Indeed.. that's a long time
Ah well.. look at the benefits. Probably a lot less bad weather at Coningsby.. the natives speak English and more importantly.. you get to see more of the BBMF (notwithstanding future defense cuts)
ATB in your new posting Dave

Hope your post transition goes smoothly. At least there's some distance involved. I know a guy who moved from Mildenhall to Lakenheath when he was in the USAF where his stuff kept getting re-delivered to Mildenhall.

Some of you may have seen on the web that it may be a bit of an end of an era for us VC10 chaps too.
