Found some nice S111 shots at Templehof in 1972 in months that I flew the particular aircraft to or from Berlin...Surprising variations in the liveries that I don't remember :think:

i'm glad my purely accidental find has gone down appreciated

yes i was looking for photos of G-BNRT B737-300, which was ex- orion but later painted in Britannia colours after the takeover, but thats another story..........

I found that site, also by 'accident' some time ago, but having looked at the link again, I've noticed a few 'new' shots. Ones that interest me are (at THF) a camouflaged Argosy, a Heron in Queens Flight livery, camo Andover and Queens Flight Andover in the original colours (as on Ricks model!)

The Heron shot was taken, it says in 1971 - 3 years after they retired from TQF, and I was trying to read the wording after 'Royal Air Force'. It looks like 'Germany' (which would make sense!) Must have then been used for Comms flights. I wonder how long it stayed in service for? I think it might not have been the only one used in Germany. Don't think they were ever based here.

Does anyone have any shots of (or know of) a Heron wearing the standard RAF Transport livery?
