Lakenheath 26 July

Post by slogen51 » Fri Jul 26, 2019 10:27 pm

Only one visitor today- Rocket 11 87-0171 SJ in from Germany but the WSO in Howler 22 provided some more interest on a quiet Friday.

Thanks for the Rocket 11 heads up

All of the LN sqs now have RAF style morale patches. And I'm sure that is what is on the hat

And of course the 492nd FS are the "Madhatters." Although being a red had maybe 494th after all.
