1979
25th Anniversary of EE Lightning at Binbrook

Uh, that's pretty! So simple and subtle... great!

The model's great, no doubt from the new Airfix kit?  

But the Whiffness is SO subtle I can't see it.  

OK, it's in a 74 Sqdn scheme, but in camo, whereas their RW F6s were in NMF schemes out in Singapore, but where does 11 Sqdn. fit into the scenario?

Thank you chaps.

It`s the 1990`s Airfix F.6 1/48 kit Kit and the backstory is all revealed in the link below.

Ahah, NOW I  understand, thanks. 

It's model of a RW Whiff then? 

A similar job could be done with a Bucc as 208 Sqdn. painted some of their aircraft in various schemes when they disbanded.

.... and just to confuse you a bit more, XR761 is actually an old `Tiger` from the Singapore days.

I can only assume thats why she was chosen for the 74 Sqn scheme on the day.

Sadly she was lost in the North Sea in 5 years later, but thankfully the pilot was recovered safe and sound.

That is one beautiful model!
