Suspicion breeds confidence
Much missed
SkyNews yesterday showed a clip of David Cameron meeting Xi Jinping in a British pub in 2015. In the background was a framed picture of a Vulcan. It looked like a Squadron Prints depiction of 390 or 392 with 617sqn markings. Any thoughts?

I understand he's still in the left seat

It used to hang in the officers mess at RAF North Front (Gib). It is signed by several members of Dams raid.
I was staying on the Sunborn and it was given to me by an old boy who was night security there. Ex RAF.
At the same time, the owners of that pub near Chequers were staying there also. We got drinking and talking. Turns out that the pub is an RAF pub so I donated it to them for safe keeping with instructions to keep it out of the sun to stop it fading.
I hope that answers your question!

"personally I prefer 'Spoons Dave"
As a Flying Officer First Nav on 42 Sqn the boss got me accelerated to Flight Lieutenant by a year. That occurred in 1979 when we also got a big pay rise. My salary nearly doubled overnight and was promptly wiped out as SWMBO announced she was pregnant and had to give up work.
But is there any news on TTN? I served with him in Hong Kong, where he was station 'Rock' before he left to be a Nav. Reunited through pprune and I know he sold medals and stuff and I think his son was in the army. His wife was a QA nurse
