Thank you to Dale Featherby for identifying these photos.

These pictures were taken on 25th October 1973 on the occasion of the first formation flight by all 6 BBMF fighters.
The pilots in the black flying suits were first from left Wally Epton, fifth from left Dave Seward, sixth from left Pete Gostick. The other three pilots were Bill Gambold, Ernie Jones and Harry Martin. Image 356 appears to show Dave Seward doing a walk around on PZ865 but on the day he is said to have flown one of the PR19s and Wally Epton and Ernie Jones flew the two Hurricanes so it may be a staged picture taken on the day.

Many thanks to Dave Welsh and SOCA for organising the annual 41 Sqn Memorial Service, to remember the personnel that passed away or were seriously injured, in a bus crash in West Germany in 1983. The support provided by the current members of 41 TES from RAF Coningsby, is very much appreciated by the families and ex squadron members.

Many thanks to Mark Rees for sending me these photos of 5 Sqn Lightnings, visiting C**tishall in early 1987. It is likely that is the last time that Lightnings were at C**t, as the Lightning force was disbanded by April 1988.
