Early in the morning of 7 April 1994, a line of cars is waiting to be admitted to the base, to see the departure of the 33 IAP MiG-29s to Damgarten. At left, a small group of Brits can be seen in "total idiot mode" as they wait for the gates to open. On the right, a passing Dutchman looks bewildered by their strange behaviour.
