Nice shots Mr Ripley, I take it the "office" shots were before and after for the K? Looks like they replaced all of those engine gauges good and proper if so. The before shot made me wonder how many (will admit) to having one of the originally supplied control column Lockheed Badges that the aircraft arrived with. I well remember aircraft turning up for Base 3 (Major) servicing at Colerne with both missing. We replaced them, and they "went missing" again. I'm sure many pilots have them as souvineers, and who would blame them. By the time I returned to the fleet in the 80s they had been replaced with the locally made perspex jobby in your shot. Does anyone have a photograph of the original ? Come on AA62, "fess up".
