PUZZLE PICTURE 3

Thank you very interesting era .

Here are the promised awful 228 OCU Javelin photos,both heavily fogged by my DIY kitchen table processing!
They were taken at Leeming 17 Feb 1958 and show XA691/l and XA698/Y.
I wish I could go back with my digital camera now – there were 6 Valetta C1; 10 Valetta T4; 4 Meteor T7; 6 Meteor NF11; 2 Vampire T11; 24 Javelin FAW5 – all 228 OCU, as well as 33 Squadron on temp detachment with 1 Meteor NF12 and 6 Meteor NF14 and a visiting 30 Squadron Beverley that day, and they were just the ones I managed to record,others being airborne at the time. Happy days!

Yes, 131 Squadron, Newcastle.I have a couple of very horrible photos of their Javelins which I’ll post tomorrow. Watch this space,
Jim

Thanks.were you flying as an ATC cadet ? Do you have any other pictures of 228 OCU aircraft at that time like the Javelins ?

You got it!

WJ472/U is correct (complete picture below). Taken at Leeming 17 Feb 1958 on a very windy day waiting for a flight. Finally got one in WG263/L that afternoon.

(I’ve had to crop the photo to make it fit the forum’s size criterion.)

Jim

If code letter “U” WJ472 “O” WJ469.

T.4 probably 228 OCU RAF Leeming.

Vickers Valetta, on the ground and before colour cameras! Ok the where and when are a bit tongue in cheek 🙂
