Here's one of Jake Newlove sent by ?:
And,a very early Sabre picture of S/L Ron Bauman at NAE Uplands. Ron later went into Flight Safety and was posted to Metz in the early 60's in charge of AIB. (Photo provided by his son Jim).

Left side: 422 Sqn
Ops Room showing the "Tomahawks" versus the "Snakes" of 444
and the "Moose" of 419 Sqns.
Right side: The
sad end of the Sabre Days. Prestwick, Scotland in 1963.
From Capt (ret) Richard F Pane - former Armament Systems Tech.
A picture here of what I believe was referred to as the "Pranging
Goat". This being the one time that I remember 410 being saddled with it.
The young airman was LAC Pane (Armament Systems Tech at the time). Next, a picture
of North Luffenham Flying Club (detachment, hanger, club house?) with
LAC Al Cheney in front. Number three is the
Tiger Moth that was the first aircraft I ever flew and which got me to
remuster to Aircrew courtesy of Moe Brunton and the SMO who's name
escapes me at the moment.
Two pictures of a Tanked Sabre that probably belonged to 439 Sqn.? I don't
know if this was the one that landed in a cabbage patch or not....
Lastly a shot of the flight line at RAF Coltishall where we were detached
to during Operation Dividend. I know 410 was there but I can't remember if 441
or 439 also flew out of there for the operation. It seems to me that at least
one Sqn. stayed home to mind the farm.
Sorry for the quality of the pictures but the originals were only about
2" X1 3/4" shot with a box camera (which was about all a poor airman
could afford).
