Out of Service Dates

[Akrotiri bad boy]

I'm hoping that some fellow Ppruners can help me out with the out of service dates for the following types:

4FTS: Gnat, Hunter FMk6, Hunter TMk7

CFS (H): Whirlwind

I know these types were around in '78/'79 but I'd be grateful if someone could narrow the dates a little.

Many thanks in anticipation

Hi Akro,
I left Station flight at Valley in 1977 for Bruggen,however the Hunters on 3 Sqn were the first a/c I worked on as a young rigger straight out of training in 1974. Hope the following info is helpful i will never forget being dumped in the sea and "rescued" by a 22 sqn Whirlwind. Hope the following info re 4fts is helpful. OOps amended to add CFS(H) - SARTU
