Elementary My dear Peter

As I spend a good portion of my time trawling for stuff for Mr Russell's latest project Im getting fairly competent at tracking things down

By the way WP212 is one of the orginal production run of Valiants and was probably visiting from RAF Gaydon

Thanks, Leif. I must admit I thought they were all in 'anti-flash' white at that time but obviously not. Just shows how much I know about Valiants!

Pete , Im not 100% sure but I think the first ones painted antiflash were the ones used for the Hydrogen bomb tests at Kirimati - but I bet someone will know

I bet they will. I'm sure if I wait patiently, the answer will be posted here.
