The Seafires have long gone, but these are rather nice.

Firefly Mk1 gun button relinquished from a cockpit of an a/c that had been scrapped at CU in the 1950’s…

the early ’60’s, when MR.2 WG768 was operated with ‘ROYAL NAVY’ titles for data transmission trials.
A wee bit tenous, but hoping to save some embaressment on Nashios behalf!
cheers old bean, I fear i was going to have to iron my hands for such a mistake 😮

Not unless you have any Firefly bits for exchange.;)
No Firefly bits at the moment i’m afraid, it would just be for cash. I already have a canopy and some smaller items and i’m always on the lookout for anything else.

when did the FAA operate shack’s ?
The early ’60’s, when MR.2 WG557 was operated with FAA colour scheme, (EDSG over white) and ‘ROYAL NAVY’ titles for data transmission trials while with the RAE armament flight.
A wee bit tenuous, but hoping to save some embaressment on Nashios behalf!

What Fleet Air Arm Stuff Do You Have?
I was civvie Radio Allocations Officer for Eagle, Ark Royal and Bulwark 1963-69. Father was FAA pilot and instructor. Have his photo albums and log books.
By: ZRX61 - 30th June 2008 at 22:16
My dad was on Bulwark during Suez, flown home early after diving off the flight deck into Valetta Harbour for a 10shilling bet & hitting the bottom so he didn’t actually get there for the kick-off.
Stepdad was on the Eagle at some point, not sure when exactly.
