Re: Photo Spad
Agree Clint

I am mystified by the digit. The upper part looks like a 7 while the lower part looks like a 2.
Or did they switch to letters and we have a Z?

Cheers
Stig

Re: Photo Spad
Stig,


Given the that the wing partially obscures the figure any answer must necessarily be speculative, but it looks too long to be a zed.Could it be two sevens joined end to end?


Regards,


Clint

Re: Photo Spad
Stig,


Here is a tactical '2' of SPABi 60.. Although the lower half of the numeral looks like our machine,the top of the figure is distinctive. So perhap,only perhaps, ruling out a 2 as the figure on 'our' machine.

Re: Photo Spad
Anything is possible Clint

But if both had the same SFA number then the tactical code number has changed.
Your opposed digit 7s feels somehow better even if I don't understand the point with it....

Cheers
Stig

Re: Photo Spad
More likely to be a stylised 3 I think, something like this Slab.
