Hi to you Luke

Yes I'm sure. 213 Sqn were the only users of the B(I)6. Only 19 B(I)6s were built all of which but two, WT308 and WT309, were issued to 213. The two not issued were in the charge of RAE and A&AEE, although WT309 spent a while with the RAF Handling Sqn.

Akrotiri's Pink Flamigoes had B.15s and B.16s and 51 had B.6R's. (although that last designation may have been local).

Tiger-mate
What hangar was that in? Recall an incident of a drouge bolt threading a drouge chute through a leccy(?), not pleasant.

Ah! Never mind Tiger-mate, LoveChild has answered while I was building my post. 82 was after my time.

But to happier things. . . . Anybody out there got any Cranberrie tales from Idris? Here's an image to help stir your memories.

Edited to say sorry but my ISP is really slow at the moment, the pic's worth the wait though I reckon.



Dawn on the pan - you can almost feel the heat starting.
