...as No.216 Squadron Marks 30 Years of TriStar Operations

摘要

Lockheed TriStar K1 ZD951 (c 1165, ex G-BFCD) has received a large representation of No.216 Squadron's emblem and titles on its tail-mounted engine nacelle, recalling 30 years operating the tanker transport. The aircraft is seen departing its home base at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, on January 18 at the start of its flight to Nellis AFB, Nevada, shepherding four No.lX(B) Squadron Tornado GR4s to take part in a Red Flag exercise. No.216 Squadron reformed on the TriStar in November 1984.
