Wonderful pics Clicker old chap ! The Raspberryripple WK518 and WZ845 pics are most certainly taken at RAF Manston when they served with No 1 AEF. I even recognise the Austin Alegro in the car park . It's quite possible the other pic of WK518 was taken at RAF Coningsby ... someone might be a able to positively ID the location. My quess is that the Blue Band scheme was mid 90's (94 ?)

Not sure if you know ... But WK518 is now displaying this scheme ...



Here she is in the former High Viz Black ...






Best ...

Coff.

PS. One rainy day I helped the Engineers fabricate those Rudder Locks ... Nice bit of pop riveting ... contact adhesive applied to the rubber on the inside of the lock ... dayglo tape and "Remove Before Flight" ribbons ... Great fun a very long time ago
