Thank you very much for that, I tried but my lack of French failed me and even asked a local french pilot who was :confused: (workmate). I shall be busy on the google translate later 🙂 so thanks again and if its what Im looking for I may be adding the logo/emblem to my A/C soon:eek:
Kind Regards

This “Observer for Gunnery” squadron n°5 of the “ALAT” ( Light Aviation of Ground Army ) was created in 1956.

Worth a read I think.
