All,

Next Sunday we have the TAC cockpit meet at Hooton Park, Cheshire. Should be a good turn out with vintage buses and vehicles also on show.

Looks like we have 8 – 10 cockpits attending so should be a good day out

See you there?

Simon

Just a reminder about the event in May! Read below

Sorry for the delay airfield, I will try them in the New Year!

Ok, lots of thanks for the replies, PM’s and emails this is the biggest post I have ever had! Thanks also for the fun diversion down the ‘Tonka’ route it is what I love about this forum!

SO! I can confirm that it is the fin from ZA411, today in high winds I removed the RWR cap on the front of the fin and found the letters AJS written inside. This was the tail code of ZA411 when in 617 colours.

So now the preparation starts for display boards etc for next year’s ‘Fin Fest’ :stupid:

I think we may be getting off the subject :p, I have always used ‘Tonka’ and know it was a range of toys. Having received emails etc. from RAF personnel they use the ‘Tonka’ reference too!

Anyway to answer some of the questions, no it wasn’t that windy. A few of the early GR4 test beds kept the old green / grey scheme and then the fleet went to the all grey finish. That makes this tail a GR1 and the fact that the airframe at Warton still carries the old scheme it makes sense.

The original question stands, did anyone capture ZA411 with both markings on the tail?
