47 Sqn
 

My dad served on 47 Sqn, and would be more than happy to make a contribution to RAF funds. new to pprune, how can we set this up?

I'd be happy to see it go to a 'good home'. I've no idea what it's worth, but you may get some idea from fishing around for similar.

You're in Norfolk, I'm in Peterborough. I think we could probably work out the logistics. :)

PM'd fido24 but nothing more heard. :confused:

Anyone else interested?

Just in case your interested, the winged AD belong to 47 Air Despatch Sqn of the royal logistics Corps. Vice 47 AD Sqn Royal Corps of Transport, both of which serve/served at Lyneham.

forget,

I would be very happy to hang your picture on a wall in my house. I served on LXX Sqn at Lyneham in the late 90's and have many fond memories of my time in Wiltshire. Your print is just the ticket to take me back to happy days on Albert.

Cheers

A Shuffle

Maybe should start an Auction and thinking as it is an Army/Air Force Picture maybe nice to doate the proceeds to the Help For Heros Charity.

Just a thought......:rolleyes:

I'm getting my coat.....:bored:

I'm leaving now....:ouch:

Good idea. Anyone there from Wittering? PM me and I'll drop it off at the Guard Room. Stick it into the system (In my day we'd have used the Station Flight Anson :hmm:) and get it to 47/70 Sdn for a 'Brains Trust Night' auction.

Sorry A SHUFFLE - but it's yours if Wittering goes all coy. ;)
