Apparently, the tour organiser had recently been at a Turkish base or in touch with Turkish military or something, and those Greeks, they don't like that! I filmed on a Hungarian airbase in the early 90s, and boy were THEY touchy ! Could only shoot with a bloke with lots of gold braid on his hat stood next to us. Menawhile, I saw Migs with repairs using flattened Coke cans, technicians wandering around refuelling rigs with cigarettes, bald tyres on active aircraft - you name it. Sorry, digress... I used to film at the International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford with a large crew from 1992-1997 and boy there was always a MASSIVE amount of serious stills kit being waved about by the enthuaiasts! Fine in the UK, but Greece? I don't think so...
