The picture you mention is of the replacement A2 C.
A bit humbling to see that we can be replaced so readily. That of course was not quite the case. It took a lot of scrambling to keep a squadron up to strength when we wrote them off so recklessly. I'm
not sure if other views would show how the
lettering had been altered. Wish I could supply you with a view of the original. We had just applied to the Wingco for permission to have our ship named "The Adelphi Queen" after the Adelphi Hotel in Glasgow. Miller Gordon and staff had virtually adopted the whole crew of C Charlie.
Maybe it was just as well we didn't as they would have been further saddened by it's demise. I would like to see some of your work if possible.
Thanks Skipper 67. Cheers Alex Campbell
