Leuchars F-3's

Post by iain s » Sat Oct 10, 2009 4:28 pm

Hi there all below are some from a few visits to Leuchars over the last few weeks.

The main aim of the visits was to catch this girl before she losses her 43 Sqn marks-

Taxi back with tanks-

And without-

To show the paint brushes have been out, ZG774 HM ex GV 43 Sqn.

And after a tanker sortie she returned like this ;D

Another just out of paint shop, ex TW of 43 Sqn. Good to see the larger 111 Sqn badge being used-

Cheers and hope you enjoy

Very nice to see the last of a dying breed , when i was there for 3 days B4 the airshow i never saw one , but a few years ago i was sick of the sight of them - how times change .
