Hi,
I’ve not visited in a while! Anyway, I was a QFI at RAF Valley from 1986 to 2005, during that time I was the Chief Groundschool Instructor and on escaping from that job undertook refresher and re-cat flying on 19 Sqn. The course started in Jan 1997 and I have discovered that their Hawks carried ID letters (P?) on the fin rather than the 3 numbers of their serial. Does anyone, by any chance, have a list of serial numbers with associated ID letters for that period?

many thanks
