Kagemusha Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Fantastic, thanks for sharing. First time I went to Cosford was when I was fifteen with the Air Cadets, never saw anything as good as those pictured any time I've been. Hope those wonderful aircraft are ultimately preserved. And where's that KH Jag!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael931080 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Outstanding! Do they still do the taxi runs with the Jags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was posted there en mass with 3 AMS VC10 majors (Abingdon/Brize Norton - Base Hangar) to 1 Sqn VC10 majors. Was only there for 9 months but it left a lasting impression on me. As you say about 'good practices'. I remember having them shouted into us at all times and woe betide anyone who didn't comply. Everything has it's place and it's not on the floor. GSE was always tidied away to it's marked out area and panels were always placed on foam covered wood battons or shelves/racking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-crusaders myself I did all four lines of maintenance. I worked on JP's, VC10 K2/3/C Mk.1K, Tornado GR1/4A and finished on Nimrods. Also did cross servicings for VASS on F-16, Mirage 2000 and some Dutch jet (looks like a Vampire a little) that i can't remember the name of. Never did anything that hovered. Quite glad really as i hate boats and disliked the camping lol. Edited June 1, 2019 by AlanG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
