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.

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....?
