It was 206 (Heterosexual) Sqn - in the days before equal opportunities - there were pens and beer mats to prove it! It didn't half wind-up OC CXX when he was given a '206' pen to sign his bar chit!
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Crap pens though, they didn't even last 4 weeks

With a motto of 'Hands On', think we were called something like 'The Wackers', ......but correct me if I misspelt.

I always thought that 43 squadron personell were referred to as "The chicken farmers".
There used to be an old boy - now deceased - who lived in the next road to us who claimed to have served in Hunter days. He kept a few Bantams in the garden. His name was Doug - I never did know his surname.
