Great shots. But, is that the remains of a crashed Skyhawk in the last photo?

Would that have been Scott Armour's one then?

Most of them fresh out of the paintshop by the looks. Thanks for posting, these are very nostalgic It never occurred to me at the time of this era of how this would all be history one day.

I must have missed this thread when Ngatimozart posted a few months ago.

I think I can make out a few faces there.
Glenn Stewart, Hamish Bryce, Steve Pilkington, Mark Wingrove, Bruce Keightley, Greg Eliot ?
Is that Selwyn Rabbits also ? and possibly John Lanham.

yeah, looks like Selwyn. He was my MFC on 40 Sqn before he got out and went to Smiths Cranes.
