Nice pic of the 16 Sqn B(I)8s lined up at Laarbruch. Sad that none of this mark Canberra has been preserved in the UK. (Note the shark mouth as well!).
As to the second image, there's no real identifiers so unless someone was actually there it might prove difficult to ident. Thought at first it could be a 95 Sqn kite, from the indistinct badge on the fin, but the legs of their (98's)
Cerberus are more distinctly separate. Second thought was that it could be 249 Sqn's charging elephant. This is a possibility as they went out to Akrotiri in the late 50's (hence the KD) and became one of the sqns forming the Akrotiri Strike Wing (Pink Flamigos). Pic
could show one of (or the first?) of their kites arriving at Akers circa late 1957.
Then there's the "rocket" or similar behind the guys on the left - could that be a Nord AS.30? If so, that would put the pic in the days of the Akrotiri Strike Wing.
Good images though, history material. Got any more?
