Thank you both for what info you have. I have some info of its value, but nothing of its operational use.
Incidentally, it is one used by S/L Podger in 1968, it came complete with a Blue/Grey flight Jerkin when bought in 1985-ish. However on getting it home I found out my Mother used to work at a Gainsborough hospital with a fellow Nurse, surname Podger, whose Husband was an RAF Pilot based in Lincs, circa 1968.
Regards Rad.
