Kemble 1989 - USAFE maint

Post by Yammer » Wed Oct 28, 2020 5:56 pm

Looking through an old log book finds the following from Tuesday 6th June 1989 in and around the USAFE maintenance facility

Y92517 code "YM" F-5E 2 tone grey with USAF roundel - for Tunisian AF, ex Alconbury machine
01560 code "60" F-5E - in hangar - ex Alconbury machine


40460 C-23 lizard c/s landed
40462 C-23 lizard c/s named "Fen Tiger"


37814 C-130E lizard c/s - 7405 OS ( hack support for 7 SOS at Rhein Main )
95820 HC-130N lizard c/s - 67 SOS - in hangar
95826 HC-130N lizard - 67 SOS

I think the USAFE maint facility was there from mid 1980s to early 1990s.

Hopefully of interest to some viewers.
