Great shot Trev...The markings indicate that it belongs to 208 Squadron, which I served on in Kenya. One of the oldest squadrons in the R.A.F., as it was originally "Naval Eight" in the R.N.A.S. :flying:

However, I'm really looking forward to getting it...Their video is great to look at :flying:

Hi Tony...Happy Days! ...Do you ever attend a reunion? I never seem to hear about reunions until they have already happened :think:
