Re: ETPS sign
You might try the FAST Museum at Farnborough. As someone suggested it might date from ETPS' time at Farnborough.

Re: USAF AMC to remove tail numbers.
The KC-135 photographed above still has a TDB on the nose.
You just need a very good telescope/camera lens!!

Re: Blackbushe Pilatus PC-7
Someone at Blackbushe has managed to read the c/n plate under the tailplane.
It's definitely 520, so why it's painted in military colours is a mystery.
The Scramble database says Iraqi AF 5048 is c/n 240

Re: 'USAF' Cessna 150
Lakenheath Aero Club used an ex-USAF T-41A in the early 1970s - N5162F. You can just see the painted out 'USAF' under the port wing in my photo.

Re: RAF Valley viewing guide.
Hi. I'm planning my first visit to RAF Valley. Thanks for all the info on this site. I'm thinking of visiting on Monday 28th June. I know military airfields are totally unpredictable but generally are Mondays busy? I'd be quite happy with local Hawks and Texans as I've never been be fore. Any advice...

Re: A56-001. Farnborough
When it arrived it was parked on the Terminal Grass area and was visible from Eelmoor Bridge.
But it may have been moved since then!

Re: Model shop in Farnborough in the 80s
There was also a model shop in the parade of shops just off the Clockhouse roundabout. I can't remember the name and it's long gone.

Re: Upper Heyford Airshows
I always loved the Upper Heyford airshows. Never as big as Mldenhall but with a great atmosphere and the occasional gem in the static display. My first Heyford Open Day was in 1969 when the 66th TRW were based there with RF-101 Voodoos and RF-4C Phantoms. Here are some photos from the day: 56-0058 R...

Thanks very much to Graham Luxton and Dan Beeden. You have solved a 49-year old riddle and made an old man very happy! As a bonus prize here's the other photo of 61-0317 I took on that day. What a base Heyford was back in the day! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50237963262_f327234841_b.jpg 71C0...
