Peter Hall Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Can anyone who served around Wasp ships flights remember what the side numbers for the cabs belonging to HMS Dido, Ajax and Arethusa Flights. I'm trying to get the decals together for all the bits and pieces in the forthcoming Atlantic Models Leander kits, including the Wasp. I have most but not all as I am missing the three listed above, and I can't remember myself despite being in and around them all the time, way back then. Any help you can give will be much appreciated. All the best Peter Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Hall Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for all your help here. I have now been able to complete the task in hand. As a point of interest. I have come by a photo of Ajax's Wasp with the side number 460. Perhaps this was assigned to it before the ship went into refit for conversion to Ikara.??
