Thanks for that...had a look at this site but just on the ordinary dateline, not the special occasions.
No mention of the Canberra and absolutely NO IDEA where I got that Nimrod reg from

Many thanks
Best regards

I'm pretty sure XV206 would be a Hercules!

[simon]

Mind you, 206 was a Nimrod Sqn...

...so this was probably your Nimrod: https://www.flickr.com/photos/antonov22/8720644614

If you're the same Simon and that's your photo, I'll just shut up now...
