It was delivering an MH-53 helicopter to the museum, so I am told.

I can remember the Vulcan flying into Cosford in 1966 when I was an
apprentice there. I believe a test pilot or RAF MU test pilot flew it in. I
saw the skid marks off the end of the runway a few days later. Sat in it a
few times after that. Thanks USA for the '53, a very welcome addition to the
museum and thanks RAF for flying it in from Brize Norton. Nice bit of double
duty for a training flight all around by the sound of it.

Indidentally, I was born in the RAF hospital at Cosford. I wonder if they
want me as an exhibit at some point in the future ?

Nice if they could bring me in a C-17 :O)

Regards
Paul
