Mention of XP357 (Juliet) and XS412 brought back a few memories..I`ve got the panel of the tailboom section with XP357 on it here in my `office`; it was cut out by the Manston fire schoool when she had spent some time at the training school,after another life in SAR yellow.She was also the cab that shed all her `tail-feathers` when we were in formation with another WW in another part of Borneo,but we survived...!
There are a few photos on the `Rotors` forum,(Rotorheads around the world-views from the cockpit),not the videos,page 15/16...some pics won`t open..
XS412 was also flown when I was on 230 at Odiham for a few months,and the last WW I flew on the day I left the Squadron in Feb.`68..
I did also fly a 1h45m I/F mutual with FED once almost 50 yrs ago,but I doubt he`ll remember it as he`s been `fiddling` with a 21 yr old..!!
