This one belonged to a guy called afvnut75 as per the register05FF87 Saracen Mk 6 reverse flow cooling, RPG Mesh Kremlin Afvnut75

I got this pic of your sarry, it is on the Saracen register but I don't know where I got it from, grey hair gets in the way!

And Andyroo owns 05FF23. Do both of you have pics of yours on the site, please?

Included in the list with a pic! Very nice collection you have!

Collected images from our part of the world

Thanks, my son stays near Melbourne, so relatively close.

Hi all, still around, but as you say, rather quiet. My son is now in Aussie but I have not even tried to get him to locate the parts, I am considering swopping countries

This thread has been awfully quiet?!

Brilliant idea, sir! But with a one way ticket here!

Another interesting sarry photo from the same operation

A very interesting pic.

Well done guys, looks like you are having fun!

Hail the master!! Hehe, your knowledge is such, you are the only guy in this world that could sort a Saracen gearbox, on the other side of the world, using Skype!

My bet is Richard Farrant will be able to help!

Good to hear you are making progress! Pics will be very welcome!

Another pic of "Easy Rider"

You are a star, Terry! I will take up your advice, let's see what happens. Thank you very much!

To say I am in awe, is an understatement!! Excellent thread, your work is truely inspiring!

A pic of a P51 Mustang languishing in a hanger on the Swartkops Air Force base. No names have to date been recorded on the aircraft during the period November 1950 to January 1952 and available evidence therefore suggests that the practice of applying personal names to the Mustangs was only introduced during February 1952 (following the appointment of T/Cmdt R. A. Clifton as Officer Commanding). Mustangs 308 and 325 had similar styles of lettering, suggesting that both names were applied by the same painter and may have been among the very first to be named. (Note: names in bold have been confirmed by photographic evidence while those in italics have been recorded in documentation but not yet confirmed by means of photographs). 308 OKEY GEFFIN 318 SHY TALK 325 PATSY DAWN 326 PAPASAN, THERESA 334 PEANUTS, GAY JANE II, BUGS 343 HAZEL 348 LILIAN SANDRA (port side), GRIZZLY (starboard side) 360 ROSALIE 361 MISS MARUNOUCHI 366 SEXY 367 MY BOY, LADY ELIZABETH, THORIUM 369 MY BOY 377 MAUREENS JOY 378 SPADE II 379 SPITE II, JEAN 381 CONNIE 382 SONOP 383 MAMMY 384 CLINKS-CLINKS 385 BONNIE, BONNIE PAM 387 JOY 388 ANNE, AMONDIE 389 JOYCE 390 SANDRA-ANNA, MONKEY II 393 MARIE, IMP VII 395 SHERDANOR Okey Geffin was a Springbok Rugby prop.

Thanks Richard, it may be an avenue to explore for the parts.
