Mr. Clarke,
Thanks for the excellent book!! I thoroughly enjoyed it, read cover to cover in just couple of days. It was fun to see XW429 in the pictures, I currently own that ship here in Las Vegas, NV USA. We are trying hard to get her back to looking like her days at 6 FTS.

I do have questions for anyone from 6 FTS, if you could fill in some blanks for me:
1) The color scheme is not as the normal training a/c, why the blue top?
2) The red bird figure on the tail, what exactly is it and what does it represent. All the other JP pics on the internet don't have such a thing.
3) The logs show the a/c flown out from RAF Finningly to RAF Shawbury on Sep 21, 1993 around 10am. I understand that 6FTS was the last to operate the JP and the last flights were around 20 Sep, 1993 so I'm wondering which JP was the last "officially, operationally" flown by RAF pilots?
Thanks in advance for any and all info.
Brian
