One Last Shot…..


Of our guests signing the Visitors' Book in front of the Squadron Silver. Those in the picture are variously, Phillipa & Johnny, Sheikh Rashid, Martin Chandler, Dez Melaniphy, Harry Davidson to name a few.



On Show


We progress to more mundane matters of business. During a liaison visit by the Army we exchanged notes on armament. Jim Davie, our armament officer, and his lads laid out the total available Hunter armament in front of one of our aircraft. In return, we were able to see some of the pongos' equipment such as this Wombat; a guided missile controlled by a gent in the Ferret. I wouldn't care to be on the receiving end, I must say!


Training


A great deal of our training involves weaponry and therefore much of our time is spent in the Cine Room going over our gunsight film. Here are one or more opportune shots showing the target and the gunsight graticule.
