In answer to the question "Who painted the Tigers onto the 74(F) Sqn guys helmets"? The one who did mine was a chap in flying clothing, cost me £10. I deliberately left having it done until about 2 weeks to posting. Once done I carried the helmet gingerly to and from each sortie. I kept the helmet (they didn't fit anyone else as they were individualy moulded to your head) and it sits on the bookcase in my office at an RAF base somewhere in Lincoln as a reminder of the great times I had on 74(F) Sqn - Once a Tiger -
ALWAYS a Tiger!!
