Great pictures. Thanks for posting those, particularly with the ‘loving memory’ byline.

Lovely nostalgic shots Marauder thanks for posting them. Also T-21 thanks for the background info – where do you dig it up from?? Every time I try to look information up on (especially the foreign regs) I never get anywhere.
