Possible you might find some details in combat reports submitted, have you looked at those RAFM hold? These are different to the TNA Air50s. Simiarly, worth asking AHB if they hold anything.

Not one I have really looked at.
It is not impossible to find copies of detachment reports in sqdn and Grp ORBs but sounds like youve trawled all these.

Yes, a replica funded by the family originally for milestones of flight IIRC.

Before my time but think it being a replica factored into the discussion on displaying in an elevated posistion where many wont get full exp.

Some interesting Curatorial aspects involved in its use here in any case

I am very happy to say its all Megan's hard work and I have been free of any of the associated stress - which you'll remember all too well!
Really great panels so far, suspect you'll enjoy Sophy Higgin's paper in panel 3.
