43 Sqn FG.1 serial?
Good evening all, can anyone help with a serial for the following FG.1 please?http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...GR2_43Sqn.JPEG
The picture is dated 1st Sept 1980 if thats any help, also, I know towards the end of their operation of the F-4, 43 and 111 operated a few FGR.2s to make up the squadron strength due (I believe) to life-ex'd FG.1s. Does anyone know how many and possibly which aircraft were used?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards, Daz

Assuming it was the same "K" that we had on the squadron during my tour (from 1969 to 1974), it was one of our two "two-stickers" and the serial was XT 875

I would concur with XT875
