Brawdy "raspberry ripple" painted Hawk

Maxibon,

It is possible I took the photograph you are looking for. I was stationed at RAF Brawdy from 1975-1979. However, more inportantly I was the RAF PR photographer from 1989 - 1998. I did visit Brawdy and I did fly with OC Ops taking photographs of the "Raspberry Ripple" coloured Hawk. We also used a rear facing pod and took some "Head on" shots over the Welsh coast somewhere near Manorbier. If you can remember what the background was at the time, I might still have the odd print lying around!

The BE2c also had a gun outside the fuselage in 1915.

It just could be !!!

Old thread, I know, but did you succeed? If not I can almost certainly get a date for you from Potts's log book - he's my brother.

[Maxibon]

I did thanks! Just looking back on this threat, RAFPHOT was the very photographer and I now have a large copy on the snug wall, much to my wife's chagrin, along with all the other self-adoration pics that can only come from an aircrew-fuelled ego.

Hope Martin's well; I bought a windsurf off him and used to potter (pardon the pun) about at Dale back in the days....

In fact, here it is!

you should both be proud, lovely shot, and it's not every day people get to hang photos like that in their homes.

Could be anyone flying that. I’ve got a pic of a Nimrod. Doesn’t mean I was flying it.

Covid-blues or are you just naturally mean spirited?

AndoniP, thank you very much; it was a very enjoyable sortie; two SAPs after the pic up to N Wales, home and then off to Bristol for the weekend.

S-D, perhaps covid's getting to you or you just post ill-thought-out crap. The sooner they remove the corn cob from your arse, the happier you'll be.

Well covid has certainly done for your sense of humour. ex-Harrier pilot per-chance?

You certainly have a very sensitive ego.
corn cob though, never really thought of that as a sex toy, will certainly give it some thought.
