Trying to get Brize back to the 70'ies, traffic-wise, so I just wondered if anyone could shed a bit light on which aircraft that was in use at Brize at that time?

Used to see the Belfasts in there, on really rare occasion we used to fly our Gnats from there when Kemble was snowed in.

Aaah, those were the days when aircraft were aircraft and pilots blamed their navigators!!

The Comet C4 would have ben visitors but I'm not sure off hand if they were Brize or Lyneham based then.

Thanks.

I'll stick with Ian's list.

Obviously I already got the VC10's. And just got the Brit's from Mike

Now where would you suggest I got the Belfast from....?
