could it be "think we'll send 64 Sqdn to Tengah, what do you reckon lads?"

still a few years away them, 64 was at Waterbeach in 61, Binbrook 62 and then Tengah in early 65
disbanded June 1967
Nice picture

For anyone curious, the blue finned Voodoo is F-101C 56-0019 of the 81st TFW, Bentwaters.
There's a similar photo on the Air Britain site showing the full serial.

Superb. Remember being taken to that show as a nipper and have a b+w print of that Voodoo taken on our box Brownie. My favourite has to be the 18 Sqn. Valiant which I always thought a lovely looking a/c. XH558 carries the badge of the OCU. Fast forward a few years to when 'Eve of Destruction' topped the charts many of the airmen were sporting CND badges on their tunics to my father's disgust.
