Operation Downward Eglin AFB 2001
I posted this in History and Nostalgia but got no response.
Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on what looks like part of helicopter blade painted with 'Op. Downward 25th August - 15th October 2001 Eglin AFB, Florida'. I think this was from the work up for the introduction of the EPWII into RAF service and it bears the names Sgt Glen Manning, Cpl Dick Lindsay, JT Andy Rose and SAC 'Stub' Beart. It turned up at a local auction and apparently came from RAF Marham.
There's a number on the part - 96214-837743-4.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
