Now watch... MoD will buy three squadrons of them for £23M each to supplement the current fleet... :ugh:

And later you could get one of those mahogany ones for teething ;)

AS I recall they were made by a lady in Wootton Bassett who lived up near the PoW pub, I visited her house once for reasons that escape me, I think she knitted them - they were much classier & in a proper RAF colour scheme unlike Airborne Artist's picture. They only had 4 blade props then, I don't know if she knits the Super Hercules now.

It were a long time ago though......

Sally Harborne (wife of an ex-Ascoteer) used to make the rather nice ones, and was based near the PoW pub in Bassett; she also made sqn cummerbunds....
