I’ve narrowed it down to three candidates.
The “Buzz number” gives you the last the numbers of its serial.
FS is the code for the F-84 series.

52-7105
52-9105
53-7105

Based on these my guess would be 52-7105 for the following reasons

52-9105 is in a batch deliverd to France
53-7105 was delvered to Germany

52-7106 was used by 20th FBW at Wethersfield and therefore 52-7105 was probably with the same unit

Do they actually drop live weapons on Otterburn or are these targets for ground troops?

The range is no longer used by aircraft. The simulated airfield was cleared by 1998.

It was used quite extensiveky during the run up to Gulf War 1.

There are many vehicle targets on the rest of the range that are regularly shot at by the army

Otterburn Airfiield Range

A few more from my collection in the period 1974-1975.

The Meteors were WL349 and WF991. Anyone know their ultimate fates, were they scrapped?

According to Wrecks and Relics 5th Edition the Meteor T.7’s at Kemble in 1974/75 were

WF791 ex 5 CAACU which moved to the CFS for the Vintage Pair and subsequently crashed on 30/05/88 at Coventry

WL349 coded “Z” (ex 229 OCU) which arrived by air from Chivenor on 19/8/74 along with Meteor F.8 WH291

WL345 which was sold to a Garage owner in Hastings and is still there.

By deduction I think the ones in the photo are

WL349 I think is the one in camo and went to Staverton
WF791 I think is the one in the trainer scheme

This site is a good starting point

November 14-20, Kalamata AB. Cooperation between HAF 362 Trainning Squadron and french 2nd Squadron “Nice” based on Cazaux AB. The objectives were trainning, exchange of views about operational trainning and enquiring contacts for further cooperation in trainning in the light of a possible future common operational trainning of the pilots of the 2 countries.

The flights included A-G low level navigation and air combat sorties.

Interesting photographs, The Alpha Jets are Belgian Air Force and not French

Hi QuePee,

Would you have any info on that Varsity? LBA’s my local so I’m quite interested to know what happened!

Cheers,

Paul

The aircraft was sold to the airport in 1970 for fire training and lasted until at least 1985.
