Thanks for your advice earlier re the F540s. I would be grateful if you could put down in writing what you told me
earlier, so we have it for future reference.
Also you mentioned a 'famous' air defence exercise mentioned in F540s in 1970 which often gets confused with
UFOs. I think I have a query on this incident and would be grateful for any assistance you can provide. My
correspondent has sent an extract from a book entitled "RAF Coltishall, Fighter Station" which states that at 2017 on
8 September 1970 the radar station at Saxa Vord picked up a contact of an unidentified aircraft over the North Sea
between the Shetland Islands and Norway. The extract then goes on to describe how it was chased by various RAF
and USAF aircraft. Could this be the incident you mentioned to me? If so I would be grateful for a copy of the
appropriate F540 extract. I can provide furlher details if you need them.
Thanks for your help.
