I think mine was taken on the 3rd June 1982 if that's a help.

I think that your photo is the oldest because there is top cover of prop, on mr. Lovell's photo it's gone, and mr. Howat's is obviously the last.

On mr. Howat's photo prop and tail is missing, and the wing has different angle.

Correction, the privates were MPs and not ground crew. No further data on their exact location during the attack, if near by the plane or in other area of the base.

Cheers.

Do you know the date when that photo was taken?

I don't know the date, but is before MAY 82 because we can see the school house in the right. The school house was destroyed in 28 MAY 82.
