David;
I went through ALL 567 prints (the negatives are additional..)AGAIN! These are not sorted, except as “DH Vampires”, as opposed to the separate files of Sea Vixen; Venom; and Sea Venom etc etc. which are part of a much larger collection.(of mostly British a/c) Most have dates and codes and misc info on the back in a script that is hard for me to read.
Sea Vixen; Venom; and Sea Venom etc etc.
I am as disappointed as you to come up without XE985. The closest
I have, are good shots of XE982 and XE995, taken in 1995 and 1983, respectivley. Have lots of other XEs, including XE923 taken in 1956. I do have a photo of a line of seven Vampires with #s VZ 309;174;190 and about four other numbers getting smaller and would need some magnification. But, I tried..
Bruce;
I shall be happy to email you a scan of higher resolution. (Without the nasty overlay printing)
Would you prefer one around 250-300 kb or 1 Mb or? and special dpi (200;300;600?)
I assume you want the one of WZ584 ?

XL703

Here is XL703, which is mentioned above. Back of photo reads, “Pioneer CC1 XL703 230 Sqn Benson 15/9/62.”
