There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

As you can see, there seems to be two variants in the photo BUt the main aircraft is the one we are enquiring about.
I believe a very well done to Alan with Cliff on his tail.
Cheers,
John
Footnote - judging by Cliff's photo, there seems little difference between the variants OR ............ is the text details from my image incorrect?
Wouldn't be the first time.
