Rather then doing the whole ILS he'd be given radar vectors to about a 9-11 mile final we'd turn him on and they'd call the ILS . This particular crew called visual (passed him off to tower)made a 3-4 mile turn on picked up the ILS (you could watch on the PAR as he corrected) and landed this saved him about 10 miles flying . If he had remained IMC doing the ILS we would have flight followed him on the PAR .This was at Goose circa 8o-83 .

I think I've talked to just about every 141 or C5 ever made worked 3 Reforgers and was TDY for a 4th and Goose was a major stop we were getting a 141 about every 1/2 hour if memory serves meAny chance u two guys talked to each other in the early 80's???

I remember the F20 crashing but can't recall where it certainly didn't when I was there . The only crashes when I was there was a flight of GAF f4's and some Raf JagsReforger was always a big deal. You didn't say if you remember the F-20 accident.
Gents, looking for info on the Luftwaffe raid against Bournemouth on the 23rd of May 1943. Could someone tell me what unit(s) were involved? (Fw190's made the attack), German losses and what was their target?
I ask because Bournemouth was the locations of 11 PDRC (Personnel Despatch and Recieving Centre) which was the receiving station for RAAF aircrew arriving in the UK. From what I can gather six RAAF airmen plus many civilians were killed in the raid. Was this a delibrate attack on RAAF personnel or were they simply in the way of a more important target?
This went over my head
