I guess they all had squadron markings Bruno, but I was not aware of them. As I said, Rodneys lived in a different world to us, and their Kites were just a noisy background distraction. The only "Important" plane in my life was the VC-10 that called into Belize International Airport every Friday. That bird was our only way in or out of the place. Out being the preferable direction.
Cold war aside though, I'd still like models of the kites I used to jump out of.
Herky-bird I've now got, but Hastings, Beverly, and Argosy were what I learned to jump from. Surely Paras are the only people on Earth that loved the fat old BEV, but then again, we rarely had to land in them.
Keep on snippin' ... Johnny.
