Latvian L-410 at RAF St Mawgan for large exercise?

Post by **fisherman** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 7:39 pm

Hi Guys,
I have slides of an exercise-based at RAF St Mawgan, I believe it to have been a humanitarian exercise probably in the '90s. The slides include Latvian L-410, Romanian C-130, Polish and Slovakian AN-26 plus more. I would like to use them on my blog and share them but do not have any dates, any help and I would be very grateful. Interestingly somewhere in the grey cells, I believe that the Ukrainians may have supplied a large Antanov on some of the missions?

Regards Mike Fisher.

I was there on 11/9/98, no sign of any Ukranian then either, only what was previously mentioned.

There I was thinking it was probably an enviable position to be in

What a beauty! It's a shame there are no longer exercises like that.
