Interesting, Hucks - that our 2 squadrons from Russia - 81 & 134 (mine) were so involved.
No help to Klaus, but I have to say that I loved that beast! We had the Mk 15, 21,22,23 25 & 28 through our hands in India. Ashamedly, when the first bubble canopy model was delivered, we were so fascinated that we ran down the battery opening & closing the canopy!! = Tim |
