Hello there,
I am currently researching the service history of a former RSAF Strikemaster - '1112'.
However I have found information to be very scarce, and was hoping that some PPRuNers could assist with a couple of queries!
As it stands, I have found out that it probably served with the King Faisal Air Academy at Riyadh from 1969 through to the 'mid-1990s'.
During 1999, 1112 had been imported into the UK with several other Strikeys.
Can anyone confirm the types' operating base and retirement year from RSAF service?
Also, I have discovered that some Strikemasters began their service lifes with 9xx serials, but these were later changed to 11xx.
Is there someone that can confirm that the i.d. changes were implemented when Saudi Arabia began to take delivery of its second delivery batch?
Kind regards, and thanks for your time chaps.
