In an idle moment I checked the participants list on the Scramble site against my own log. There are some major differences and some clear errors and omissions on both (optics and cameras were not as good then so no criticism intended). Scramble for example shows static 111 Sq Lightning 'C' as XM185 which had in fact crashed (as C of 111) earlier in the year and 'C' was actually XM215 which Scramble shows incorrectly as 74Sq. Some of the Scimitars on Scramble are dubious (e.g. one was confirmed as in store at Tengah at the time, another is out of the batch and 3 were not with 800Sq at the time) as are the Hunters of 92 and 54Sq where I have confirmed additions and doubts about some of those on the Scramble list. Also the Beverleys differed each day as they flew in from Abingdon, e.g. two different from Scramble were confirmed as present on the Saturday at least.
Can anyone help with an alternative list for the flying participants and spares (and can anyone confirm that the Sudanese JP had left by the public days?) - Incidentally, I also have issues with the Scramble list for Biggin BoB that year.
All help gratefully received. Dave
