Title: Vampire T11 606Sqn Royal Auxillary Air Force.
Post by: TallEng on May 16, 2014, 02:34:51 PM
A nice simple Whiff:
Vampire T.11 "Z" WZ590 of 606 (County of Oxfordshire) Sqn.  RAF Benson 1960.

I know it should be 606 Chiltern Sqn
But that didn't  sound right to me. :rolleyes:

Sqn colours for those that are interested are Blue for the River Thames, Green for the
Beech woods and Downland that make up the area and the White for the Chalk that
Lies underneath it all.

Regards
Keith

VERY nice, I like that a lot.  :thumbsup: :bow:

You could put that on any other club stand and almost no-one would figure it for a Whiff.

I've a soft spot for T11 Vampires as one was the first jet I ever flew in, only year after your model.  ;D

Works for me  :thumbsup:

And as Kit says a lot would be wondering why it was on the WIF stand  :wacko:

Thanks guys :thumbsup:
For those who like to know:
The Dayglo decals came from the Matchbox/Revell Victor K2 Kit (if your careful you'll probably get two or three smallish aircraft out of one sheet)
The Sqn bars are made up from the Matchbox Hunter decals for 58Sqn
The kit it self is the Airfix Vampire T11 new mold.
And 606 Sqn?
The unit was formed in 1996 as the Helicopter Support Squadron, and gained its number three years later.
(They provide ground support personnel to the Joint Helicopter command)
I just gave it a bit of 'History'  ;D

Keith
