1978-09-11 A Omagh I first flew this aircraft at Omagh with 3 Flight AAC. It was NightSun equipped, and I did many hours with her before I left in Aug 1979.
with 3 Flt AAC in RAF Leuchars, Fife until I personally delivered it in the worst weather possible to Shawbury (need to check my logbook) but the weather was too bad for a radar service! As a former technician, it was the first ever live aircraft I serviced when it was brand new in Ballykelly in 1982...so I do have history with 327... 3 Flt
