Andy Mullen Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thanks guys. Based on your info, I have updated the text to show the RAF 43 Squadron XV571 with the 1980 date and also just knocked up two options from the new Model Alliance sheet #72184 - the other two are nearly the same as the No 2 Squadron Toons in post #7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have to say that I do like the 17 squadron profiles in particular, but that's probably because I worked on these machines when I was an armourer on 17 from 1971-74. I've got the Airdoc sheet and the Revell boxing of the FGR 2 to build [When I get round to it! ] Just out of interest, the zig-zag markings on the intakes were not all the same, because it depended on which way up the paint stencils were used, as can be seen on Andy's profiles. Also, they were not always the same way up on either side, so you would have to check photos to determine the configuration on any particular machine. Sorry to sound a bit pedantic . . .It must be my age !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghb180658 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks for that Geoff, clears it up nicely- John Brady was my first Boss (I was pan trash) and he was indeed the last F-4 Boss on 43(F), after which we had Andy Moir as the first Tornado boss. Hey Troffa, nowt wrong with the "lineys" - you guys did a great job although I admit not all of us aviators appreciated your efforts - quite simply though we couldn't do it without you. We must have been at Leuchars at the same time - I was an instructor on the OCU when John Brady was the Boss of 43 and when the Sqn converted - I was talking to Andy Moir a couple of weeks back as the Sqn History is being updated at the moment (my time on 43 was on F3s - 92-95). Back on topic - has anyone done (which means do you know where I could get) any 29 Sqn decals in 1/48 and similarly 1435 Flt (F4 and F3)?

Tashengurt Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Lineys weren't the worst of it. As a squipper I was a mere klingon though I was with 43 from the end of the Phantoms through to after the Gulf. I had a gash trip with John Brady during APC in '88. Later did a stint on Tremblers but my heart was always with 43. Good Squadron, Good station, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
