Good Pix thanks very much. I think 899 are a bit premature in displaying 25th Anniversary markings. I thought that was next year, but maybe I'm wrong.

Linked to this post - sorry it ended up in the wrong place.

899 are a year early, unless....

...you take into account the fact that they started out in June [?] 1979 as 700A Sqn and then renumbered as 899 - so they may be said to have had 25 years of continuous operation of the SHAR, albeit under two numberplates.
