XH560 looking a little better. I presume the probe went during Operation Corporate?

XH560 was converted to K2 standard during Op Corporate so kept the probe

Arghh! Should have known that. I was at Wyton and had PVR’d (Premature Voluntary Release). Having been at Wyton for four years I qualified for an environmental posting (should have been a priority posting to any place of my choosing). As I had plans of working at Aberdeen when the time came to go I applied for Leuchars or anywhere in Scotland. Whoever dealt with my posting certainly had a sense of humour. I was posted 70 miles up the road onto 50 Squadron!
It was probably the same person who dealt with my potential Father – in – Law’s and my postings back from Singapore. We had spent two years less than 20 yards (workwise) from each other – uncomfortable! He had asked for Leuchars or Scotland as I had done. I asked for Wattisham or East Anglia. We both went to Scampton. Oh how they must have laughed.

Morton , one guy I knew at Odiham applied for an environmental posting as his was wife getting pissed with his never ending detachments on a Puma Sqn, he got posted across the airfield to you guessed it, the other Puma Sqn.

Back on topic, an off chance, but does anyone know of R88 Film Cassettes available for a collector?
