[xkekeith]

With the imminent stand up of 809 Squadron at Marham here are some scans of slides taken at the Yeovilton air show of 809 Squadron in 1982 the last time the squadron was in existence. It was formed in April and disbanded in December 1982 due to the Falklands War, the eight aircraft were assembled from storage, training and the trials fleet, the pilots were recalled from exchange and training postings and the RAF GR fleet.
