The scrubbed out badge on XM137 is a winged bell. It represented the 60 MU Unit Test Pilot Sqn Ldr Dick "Dinger" Bell.

Mike,

The Herk would be KC-130J 170276 which departed Kef for Portsmouth (NH) at 12:36 on Thursday.
On Thursday there were 6 F-18s of VMA(AW)-224 returning home from deployment to Tampere. The 6 (NB: not 5) were: 164873, 164874, 165221, 165230, 164968, and 165684.

Just put "P-51 MP-C" into Google and you get: - https://www.flickr.com/photos/23711545@N08/46610577892

ZH104 was definitely delivered 4.4.91 and not 4.5.91 (refer BAR).
ZH107 is also correct as 22.8.91 - corrects my 23.8.

Mike,

I have......

ZH104 d/d from Boeing Field 4.4.91 as "Mead 04".
ZH106 d/d from Boeing Field 30.7.91 as "Allen 06".
ZH107 d/d from Boeing Field 23.8.91 as "Mead 107".

Do you have the callsigns for ZH103 on 10.1.91 and ZH105 on 7.7.91?

Cheers,

MCB

I'm not going to enter a debate on this yet again, but just to expand upon Andy's point, this is what we are talking about:- XE704 Hunter F.4, Built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd at Blackpool, f/f 26.8.55, Aw/Cn 9.9.55, d/d 45 MU Kinloss 7.10.55, to 2 TAF 9.4.56, to 112 Sqn at Bruggen 10.4.56 as 'S', F/A 1...

Dug a bit further and can confirm you have the S-55s correct.

Ronald, Without doing a lot of digging, your conclusions all look in line with expectations. A couple of bits quickly pulled from my log:- EGLG PANSHANGER 6.3.82: DT-566 T-33A-LO, (51-8566) d/d RDanAF 15.5.61, Wfu 17.3.77. Airfreighted into Northolt 31.7.79 inside C-130H B-678 and delivered to Autai...

>A report that Canberra WJ753/7656M had appeared on the dump here by 4/79 is thought wrong, this aircraft being at Henlow - any confirmation?" The above reference to "WJ753.... this aircraft being at Henlow" is clearly wrong. The a/c at Hemlow was WJ573 (ie not 753) which was there from 12.60 to 8.7...

Very nice Arnold. Regards to you and JPB. See you out and about sometime when we have a little normality again.
