Not just me then, as a bright eyed, bushy tailed, newly passed out JT, I was posted to Marham where the wreckers had already moved in. It didn't do much for morale, hanging about watching aircraft being torched up before being carted away.
Red Steer Mk1 (ARI 5919) was originally developed as AI20, in case there were problems with AI23. It only became a tail warner when 23 turned out OK. Great improvement over OP. The Mk2 (ARI5959) was even better.
