Just decided to have a trawl through my logbook and have found XX614 in there a few times. She was definitely on the 'staff' at CFS @ RAF Scampton in 1991. I did my night convex with OC CFS Bulldog Sqn and night solo in her.

Funny what triggers memories though, the 'Dog was the first aircraft I flew that was fitted with strobes rather than anti-col lights. Checking my logbook this AM brought back the memory of night flying through or under a snow shower (well it was March, in Lincolnshire) and watching the snow flakes freeze, in red or white, in the flash of the strobe. IIRC the first time I really experienced that particular phenomenon.

Very envious of all you 'Dog owners out there and seriously regret not having bought "my" aircraft when they all went up for sale. If anyone knows of a "share" anywhere that might be up for sale, I might be interested (obviously depending upon location).
