God, my memory is shite lately...

I was having lunch with a bud whose wife is a Brit. He was telling me she is from the area around RAF Alconbury, and that a while back she even dated an A-10 driver from the 10 TFW. He said the guy put her name on the nose of his a/c during DESERT STORM I, and for the life of me I can't remember it exactly but I thought it was something like 'Annabelle II'. Now, I don't need to know the gouge on the Hog driver, but I was wondering if anyone had a pic of the aircraft from the 10 TFW that flew in STORM I that was named after a pilot's British girlfriend?!?

Cheers! M2

I got an email from a bud who says Annabelle II was 80-0208...

Ring any "bells" now??? <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> (har har)

I guess it was later a 23 TFW jet, as a pic of it from Google shows it with the famous tiger teeth...

Best I can do is the art itself sorry, but don't have a wider angle view......
