Some more slide copies,some not the best in quality and focus but these days we’ve just got to “treasure the past” it may be all we have to add a bit of colour to what is a grey future with some saying we could end up with a six squadron air farce,sorry force.:confused::):rolleyes:

Thanks.

Very nice JB.

A few more from the part time trucker,yes that was “trucker” who’s steady posts week by week show that sales of trucks aren’t top of people’s shopping lists these days.maybe after all these uprisings sales might take a turn for the better as I see plenty of them being set alight,so a few trips to Southhampton might be on the cards.Anyway before you lose interest here’s todays selection..:)

Sure is! 😮 edit- I should’ve known, the hemp 57’s had a version of the unit badge on the fin, rather than that earlier marking. Doh!

This should link to the last page of our work diary: [url]JT442, in theory that photo should be pre-86, as 57 disbanded in june of that year. Depends how swift they were (or weren’t!) at repainting the squadron badge…
She wore a 57sqn badge on her stbd side until at least 2003….

There’s your theory blown out of the water Blue. 😀

I’m sure the OP won’t mind………….;)
By: Blue_2 - 22nd February 2011 at 10:02
Nope it’s kosher! A few of us want her back in green/grey but she wouldn’t be Lindy then, so that’ll not be happening 🙁
Sorry for the thread hijack 😮

Ah ha! From the Gulf – I knew she had the noseart but thought it might just have been a bit of YAM fun!:)
By: Blue_2 - 22nd February 2011 at 09:39
Her First Gulf War noseart. Most of the Victors involved were given nose art and names of the crew chiefs’ wives/girlfriends.

Blue:)! Where does the name “Lindy” come from?
