Great thanks to all for the responses!
The panel is 90% complete just looking for the usual flying instruments now, height, speed, compass
See you all at the fest?

Yup may have worked on it, only 72 cab I can definately remember being involved with was AT because either the leg fell off it at Aldergrove or it was the one that had the little incident whilst getting the Christmas Tree and the parts off the one the leg fell off were used to fix the latter.

While I don’t have a complete history, a few notes as a starter:
Served as E/72 Sqdn eg 9/68
On two-letter recode, became AE/72 Sqdn eg summer ’70, 9/70
15MU overhaul
Returned to 72 Sqdn, but now AM/72 Sqdn eg summer ’75 & summer ’78.

Remember the tail number from my time on 72 in early 90’s and refuelling it out and about NI. Easy to fit panel out? I remember having a complete set of Wessex instruments after one had touched the ground at bishops court all going to scrap.

Not a lot, was on 60 Sqn and 72, may have crossed paths with it on 72, good luck 🙂
