Aah! Nostalgia is certainly not what........................
Can anybody date it? An 8-ship (no No 7 second synchro) Arrows with slipper tanks fitted.

The script that accompanies it is a little misleading, in that it talks about a 'Guppy' and a 'Lancaster' where it surely means 'Aviation Traders Carvair' and 'Shackleton'. The date is definitely 1960s, and I would start the bidding at 1968 - after anguishing long about 1967.

I liked the "Red Devils in Hawker Hunter" bit.
I was waiting for a formation ejection.
