Well, here is one Yank who got to fly with 617 Sq in an elint support role. Great chaps and they brought their squadron store with them. I still have the art print and first day issue I purchased from them on the wall over 20 years later. At that time, and now I suppose, they were flying the Tornado, just an awesome aircraft!
They were well aware of their heritage and damned proud of it, too. I was lucky enough to be a WWII history bug, so I knew who these airmen were and the history of their squadron.
We were flying with the Germans, Canadians, and USNavy in a joint exercise. As I recall, the Tornado crews snaked the USN with some clever tactics.
Those were great days!
