Greetings one and all . . . . I have been tasked to find either an original patch or a decent image of the P1127 Kestrel tripartite evaluation Squadron badge !

Any help will will be great appreciated and will cheer up an old Air Traffic type who was serving at West Raynham during this period (not me) 🤪

And . . . . Go !!

Try the RAF Wittering Station Heritage Centre, they can probably help.

Beagle,

Just for your information there appears to be a P1127 Kestrel under a tarpaulin next to the International Helicoptor Museum in Weston-Super-Mare !!

It's not, it's the Pegasus PCB test rig, based on a redundant GR1 airframe
