Just to cheer you up. I have just had a look at my film of 33 Sqn's reformation in 1971. Then the ariel under the boom was not fitted. I picked up the first Airfix model kits in 'CL' then XW227 on 28th March 1973.. The original 'CL' XW214, had just had a discussion with a hangar at Aldergrove, so when Airfix did their initial survey some months before it was possible the the FM fit had not been incorporated which would be why they did not have it on. However, as far as I am aware they would have all had them in NI.
Nutloose's pictures hows the HF ariel on the side. IIRC I picked up the first HF modified aircraft from the MU at Leconfield on 11th April 1974 so they would not have been fitted to 214 at that time.
Remember to put the ash tray in th cockpit.
