Wing Commander de Goat

Great Picture of him on top of Raw’s Shoulder’s and the rest of the Boy’s in The History of RAF Manston 3rd Edition Rocky Stockman.

Do you have this pick Snapper :confused: (it’s from Beamont’s collection).

Cheer’s all 😀 , Tally :dev2: Ho! :dev2: Ho! Phil :diablo: .

Yeah, that’s Peter Raw again. A boxer. The guy in the greatcoat is Cheval Lallemand.

Snapper has actually recreated that shot himself, using the same (now stuffed!) goat.

Yeah Snapper recreated the scene to a fashion, it involved the goat being stuffed 😉

Herr Ving commandaa GOOUT

Well done Davey boy 😀 , It sure look’s like a picture of 609’s Goat to me 😮 .

The picture in the book is a little different, and might have been taken by some one else, or at another time maybe, I wonder if it’s the big bull Raw as well, Snapper could tell us I bet mate 😉 .

Cheer’s all far and wide 😀 , Tally :dev2: Ho! :dev2: Ho! Phil :diablo: .(must crash now, ” Gut Nacht ” 😉 )
