Valiant B1 WP 213, Movement history needed
Mods, please move this if not correct forum.
I have recently aquired a couple of rare Colour slides of Valiant B1 "WP 213" in service 1955-1965.
Taken over Nairobi Airport I guess maybe late 50s early 60s.
They are original Kodak slides but no date stamp on the mounts.
I would very much like to know when the Photographs were taken and the circumstances.
I am in contact with Brooklands who have no info. on this Aircrafts movement history outside the UK.
Plus in touch with an historian and awaiting a reply re possible detailed movement history.
I know its awhile ago now but has anyone any information about this aircrafts
overseas deployments etc.
Maybe Aircrew /Ground crew who may have been involved with WP 213 during her life span 1955-1965 can help?
The only references I can find are with
Squadrons
138, then 49? (Formed from 138 Sqdn.), 18 (Photo of WP-213 with 18 Sqdn. on the web.) 199 Sqdn. C flight aircraft formed 18 Squadron.
A bit of a needle in haystack search but any info. would be most appreciated.
With advance thanks.
