I am trying to identify two sets pictures of Canberra PR9s taken during GW2. They show only the names and mission tallys.
They are "Persian Princess" & "Eastern Promise".
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

XH168 Eastern Promise and XH169 Persian Princess. XH135 was also out there and had a mission tally but no nose art.

I'll get me step ladder and anorak

Going off on a tangent here but most historians consider the 1980 Iran-Iraq war as being the first "Gulf War" with 1991 being GW2 and 2003 being GW3 :8

Many thanks for that. I hope your anorak has the obligatory Mars Bar in the pocket :ok:

Yes, and a tupperware box of egg sandwiches in the other. And it's festooned with F-14 squadron badges.....
