BBadanov, You are such a darling but so far away from me too!
I was, as you state, unaware of the lettering protocol at Lossie as I only ever got mindlessly drunk on detachments there - never served north of the border despite my heritage!
Good to know that 573 is still trucking! Can anybody (BBadanov) tell me when it was repainted from Raspberry Ripple into the more operational camouflaged version.
