That post was purely a response to Leif mentioning the BOAC/BEA training and I was not aware of anything said earlier :think:

Dunno Leif

We saw the Hamble ones who repostioned here after complaints about noise nuisance at Hurn where they used to fly to,

Ironic given the amount of One-Eleven testing at the time.

Tony,

Very interesting photos. The Broussard at Eggesford (No.208 and now G-YYYY) used to patrol the French Sector from 1976-1982 and we believe was the only aircraft of its type to see service in Berlin.
