Zetec,
Nice pic.
You can just see the Rebecca X aerials on the black paint in front of the windscreen. XD816 was one of 4 a/c to be fitted with Rebecca X. If I can
lay my hands on my notebook, I will confirm if it was one of the 2 fitted with Eureka X. I think it was but I cannot trust my memory these days
RIHoward,
That is a well used pic that I've seen many times. I recognise the faces and I've racked my brain for names, all to no avail.
PN,
Yep the end date of the Valiant and the end date of my service were very close together
Being an ex-Boy Entrant, my demob date was my birthday, which is in March. With demob and accumulated leave, I left the gates of Marham for the last time the 1st Friday in February 1965.
