Skymonster Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Splendid… I did George a couple of years early - plenty of Phantoms and also quite a few “Prams” (the nickname we used to give to OV-10 Broncos). One day I’ll get around to scanning my slides too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
