I'm sure that the Fighter Controller at Buchan scrambling the QRA is none other than Kate Lacey, a very pretty WRAF Officer whom I worked with at RAF Boulmer in the late 70's and early 80's!
David Cameron's Defense policy, a seat for himself, his family and other Conservative and Lib Dem big wigs and their families on a requisitioned British Airways Boeing 777 departing London Heathrow destination Bermuda, before the first Iranian ten kiloton yield range nuke detonates over London. Put the Nimrod MRA4 in to service, keep the Harrier GR9 in service, maintain RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Kinloss as operational military airbases and kick Mr Cameron out of 10 Downing Street.
Think you mean 43 squadron not 49 squardon (Bomber squardon WWII). Since the scramble is from Buchan to Leuchars. Must be 43 or 111 sqn. Both used FG1 from the Royal Navy. The FGR2 was the ground attack and recon version.

111 Sqn & 43 Sqn used FGR2 until HMS Ark Royal was decommissioned. The FG1 from the navy then went to 111Sqn.
