XV202
I managed to blag an invite to Cosford last year for the formal handover of 202 to the RAF Museum, because I had been part of the crew that took her out to Changi late '67. The invite extended to the pilots, Sqn Ldr Alan Colman and ( then ) Flt Lt Pete Sedgwick - sadly Alan had a double booking.
If I could get the hang of posting pictures here, I have a couple with Pete and I with the afore mentioned off-spring, who was CTP at Marshalls at the time. For an ex-single seat guy I couldn't believe how excited he got when flying a K model on an air test for the first time, particularly when he sat in 'my seat'.
I was very surprised at how poorly attended the event was, having expected to see loads of old-timers like me - the only people I recognised were Ian Corbett and Geoff Collins.
