I am still suprised the number of ppl who served at Wildenrath and who never realised the primary task of the goat squadrons Pembrokes.

Many do not believe it even now and think its a wind up.
Which is strange, as the PR version of the Pembroke was acknowledged since the days of 81 Squadron in Malaya.

I've oft wondered about the fact that the UK 'Open Skies' aircraft was an ex-60 Squadron Andover that replaced the Pembrokes.........
