Popular Post replicant Posted December 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Hello Britmodellers, here my Merry Christmas to you all! I love the picture i got via SG ETUO. Great Group which wants to make a Flugplatz Museum with mostly british AC. Ca. 1971: Quite fresh XV800 No. 20 Sq from Wildenrath Now on top new pictures of my changed (yesterday) R.A.F.P. corporal with "Snowdrop" cap and black/red R.A.F.P. armband on the left. A happier New Year to you all! Tom Edited December 28, 2020 by replicant new pics 68 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 This is a fantastic diorama with a perfect Harrier. I am really wondering whether someone here at the forum knows a bit more about the background story of this funny photograph from the 70s? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Just need the top of the cap of the RAF police man to be white to make it spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello mate, as i saw only all-blue corporals in Guetersloh (even mixed under policemen) pics of around 1971 i thought it was the strong light from above making the cap looking pale. But you are complete right, the white cap is more rounded (here) and i didnt notice (until your hint) the hidden R.A.F.P. Armband on the left (also here) So thank you, and i will change it, add the band, scalp the cap at the white border, Preiser figures have a lot spare caps 🙂 Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Nice build/diorama! Bit puzzled, 20 Sqn was never based at Gutersloh and XV800 crashed in 1975 (birdstrike) before Harriers ever got to Gut. Are you sure that the title of the diorama should really be RAF Wildenrath?

Selwyn Wildenrath was too far away from the border to GDR. The short legged Hars were therefore a lot for practising in/around ETUO before 1977 (definite move), also in Camps as Sennelager or other field bases as Eberhardt or on the Autobahn nearby (many pictures). This picture is in fact in front of the very famous RAF Officers Club in ETUO ( because of Göring there WWII) where a Spitfire was Gate Guard for long time (The Princess Royal Barracks). I have 10+ pics of XV800 in/around ETUO, none in Wildenrath. Yes, 20 Sqn didnt move, got Jags because too much attrition of GR.1/3.

That's why they were known as "snowdrops" in RAF slang. Very nice diorama, and a lovely Harrier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
