Hi,
Any chance anyone can assist with the following oldies:-

05/10/1975 US Navy P-3 (c/s 8RNC) arrived St. Mawgan 13:15 from Lajes
06/10/1975 US Navy P-3 (c/s PLK6) arrived St. Mawgan 20:53 from Lajes
08/11/1975 USAF EC-135 ? (c/s SAGAN 60) departed Mildenhall 09:02 for Offutt AFB
07/03/1976 USAF (tanker ?) (c/s FARE 41) arrived Upper Heyford 16:40
10/07/1976 US Navy P-3 (c/s LL333) departed Mildenhall 10:00 to Brunswick NAS

Long shots, I know!

Looked at `BAR` Colin, no c/s given in those days but the following may be possibilities;

24131 RC-135M 55SRW arr Mildenhall 7/11/75
53118 EC-135K 8TDCS arr UpH 7/3/76 but so did the a/c it was controlling - 4 NA F-111A's which also probably had HF.
154581/LL-03 P-3B VP-30 arr Mildenhall 6/7/76 - no other P-3's reported 6-10th
21803 C-130E AFR/442TAW, 40555 MC-130E 7SOS, 21836 and 21857 both EC-130E's 7ACCS all arr Mildenhall 10/2/79

hope that helps,
cheers,
Graham

Hi Graham,
Many thanks for the research, I too had checked BARG and regret the lack of c/signs in those days! Just hoping for some eyeball/log confirmation.
Thanks again for the input,
Regards,
Colin
