Dear~
I wonder if you could be of assistance with the following query?
I am enclosing a photocopy of two pages from a book entitled RAF Coltishall, Fighter
Station, by Michael Jennings. This is a history of that particular station and as you can
see from the event described on pages 86 and 87 on the evening of 8th September
1970 a very unusual event took place in which it appears that several aircraft were
involved in the pursuit of an 'unidentified target'. Other elements involved were
Lightning F6's from 11 and 23 Squadron (RAF Leuchars) and 5 Squadron (RAF
Binbrook).
As Jennings is a serving RAF officer and has used the incident to illustrate the
capabilities of226 OCU (RAF Coltishall) to respond to QRA duties there must,
presumably be a record of the incident
Could you please answer the following questions: . "" /: , . , "c)
