Ha! Yeah I must admit at getting a bit teary eyed over the news content :lol:

Dave yes !

Btw I doubt that Fury Photo on page 2 of 43 Sqn was taken in 1939 - they where first and last Sqn to operationally use the type (May 1931 to January 1939)

I doubt they would have set that photo up as they were going out of service! To me it looks more early 1930’s rather than late 1930’s happy to be proved wrong

No idea, that was the caption on the original photo, but it could have been a typo. Maybe a PR shoot celebrating the end of the types' service?

I hope you're doing alright Brenden!! I've got a few friends over there I'm worried about thanks to the weather, to put it mildly.
