Hiya

for your information, i have the real story of the John Peters and nichol sortie as told by their Sqn Leader Pablo Mason. He even tells that enroute, they had to RISE to go above a herd of CAMELS and nomads!!!!
He ran in at 650kts 25ft and then tells of how the Johns got shot down.
I also have a photo of the Sqn including the Johns a few minutes before they took off that sad sortie...they look nice and happy! a few hours later they were paraded on Iraqi TV beat up and bruised.
I also saw a documentary on the shooting down....brilliant, the two johns tell how they ejected and was going to fight the army with their Browning 9mm pistols and then thought to themselves...err...its not going to work!


FYI Magoo, the TIALD pod has been working perfectly on the Jaguar GR-1/3 for some time, its only the Tornados new GR-4 avionics that are a drawback.
The TIALD worked fine in some GR-1s with no restrictions.

I use to see the tornados with JP233s scream down our valley at 250ft at 450-500kts....jinking around. Now its banned, they just carry inert bombs.


regards
Richard
P.S some nice Tornado/F15/Jaguar action overhead today....awesome.
