rossm Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I just spotted this photo on fleabay and noticed the aircraft number repeated on the nose - not something I've seen before. I'm much more used to the squadron badge on the nose or insignia each side of the roundel. The photo is dated Septemer 1969 - does anyone know how long this marking style was used please? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373663647203?hash=item570016c5e3:g:1-8AAOSwQ4Zg993U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever wrote the caption really needs an eye test...... Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
