Notes:

A mixture of 72 and 18 Squadron aircraft seen getting ready for an airborne assault during a NATO exercise. Red crosses on the fuselage and nose denotes "the bad guys". Next mission they would be white (good guys) as there was not enough helicopters to satisfy demand. Scanned from a 35mm slide.
