Blood for the Baron!

Hi folks,

Cleaning up a Ferret one of the stickers looked familiar ..


.. so I had a quick look in my photo albums & found this:


The Ju.87.'Stuka', in the Hendon museum, has a very similar tank painted on it's nose:


Granted it's not %100 the same but it's darn close.

T'shot

Clearly the inspiration for the Ferret sticker, cracking Stuka photo. When was this taken?

Hi Paul.

Cheers These were taken back in 2012, it's probably changed a good deal since then.

It was 2011 when I was there last.

What markings are on the F-4? RAF?

Nice spot on the Stuka.

It's 56 sqn the fire birds.

I can't see the roundels, low vis? Many, many moons ago there was an ANZUS exercise in Ohakea, NZ. Not far from me. Anyway, I heard an unfamiliar noise so raced out to the porch overlooking the valley to see. It was an RAAF F4 scooting past at low level. Burnt into my head that image is. I was used to A4's and Bluntys.

Roundels only on the wings in that scheme, they all had fancy squadron markings under the cockpit.

End of the cold war era, I guess.
