However, I have found one reference (in a modellers forum) that indicates that WK630 may have indeed been with 8 Squadron as a trainer when they operated Shakletons at Lossie.
When I was at HQRAFSC I was on the Dominie/Chipmunk desk (1986-88) and there was at that time certainly no Chipmunk with 8 Sqn, nor to my knowledge had there ever been before then. But I lost touch after I left and the Shacks continued to 1993 was it?
