very nice video of the RAZAF and their Bristol 'Frighteners'. Had a couple of trips in them when I was at Changi with 48 Squadron. As I recall they used to trundle off to Cocos on a regular basis. Must have been an interesting trip ! They also used to ship cars home in them from Singapore.
Singapore must have been a wonderful posting in the 1960's.
I knew I had got my a/c recognition wrong, but was too distracted yesterday to do anything about it. Thank you for correcting me.
I read your post about 209 and the Towers mafia, including P.S.
Talking of which, P Le C was WC flying KL for the first two years of my dad's tour there. We inherited the dog when he left on promotion in 57.
I was reading recently some of Danny's highly informative and entertaining posts dating from 2013. In one he described his arrival to a posting in Germany in, I think, the late 1950's and mentioned P Le C being the Staish there. P Le C (in common with Sandy Johnstone) returned to FEAF as AVM in the 1960's. My dad was a great admirer and was delighted that he got to the top of the flag pole. He is 97 now.
