It seems that Phantoms were loaded with B57's as you said, so my memory was playing tricks on me. Seeing the drawing of the strike camera pod brought back memories of fitting them on many an occasion ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I’ve only just spotted this thread and it is a gold nugget on information. Regarding the QRA duties which squadrons did these duties? Thanks Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 During my time at Bruggen ( 1971 - 74 ) there were three aircraft on QRA, one each from 17, 31 and 14 squadrons. I was an armourer on 17, and I did QRA duty a lot. HTH . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
