There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

On the 1st of April 1971, No.204 Squadron was made operational at RAF Honington as a shipping surveillance and search and rescue unit.
From here it carried out the requirements of the Majunga Detachment and the Beira Patrols. (Persian Gulf)
This followed the closure of RAF Ballykelly in Ireland.
A Mk2 Shackleton is seen here at RAF Honington; in all, I believe that 14 Shackletons were based here; due in part to the additional commitments of SAR, as a result of the Nimrods unsuitability to use the Lindholme search and rescue equipment.
Anyone interested in Shackleton Operations would enjoy the book 'Growling Over The Oceans' by Deborah Lake.
