Slingsby Firefly?

[Rotten Ralph]

A long time ago I had an AI slingsby Firefly as used by the RAF. Can anyone tell me where to find this model?
I think it was part of a package, ie RAF Islanders & UK fisheries packages, but I cannot confirm this.
Thanks for any help.

It wasn't in that package but another one http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... LID=82426. unfortunately it was lost in the attack so maybe somebody here can provide it.

[Rotten Ralph]

Thank you for the info firebird. With a bit of luck it will turn up somewhere.

If it's the DEFTS package you're after, I have it at home on my External HD. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you it tomorrow. I'm away from my own PC at mo.

[Rotten Ralph]

Thanks Dinga69. PM on its way.

Regards

Gsnde, I forgot all about UKMIL, thanks for the info & I will look there in the future for stuff before posting. This time though I will go with the pack from Dinga69 as I have already PM`d him.
Cheers anyway

Just for the record, the RAF don't use the Slingsby Firefly

By the way the package is by the old UK Mil AI team not UKMIL

Hi CelticWarrior
Got this info from Scramble. I take it that this is old information? if so I won`t bother with them as I am trying to be as up to date as possible.

Defence Elementary Flying Training School/674sq
T-67M Mk2 Firefly
T-67M-260 Firefly
Tutor T1

Very old information.

The Defence Elementary Flying Training School is an MoD unit, 674 Sqn is actually an Army Air Corps Squadron, which conducts EFT for the RN and Army. The RAF has nothing to do with DEFTS as they withdrew from that organisation shortly after formation, even 'RAF' Barkston Heath (there's no 'e' in Barkston) is run under contract with little, if any, RAF input other than the name.

The RAF conduct their own EFT separately using Tutors at various stations around the UK.

You need to take something for that nasty cough Mike

[Dinga69]

@David Lock - Tough, you've got them now . Check your inbox.

[Rotten Ralph]

Cheers Dinga69, I will probably still use them as you have sent them to me. The more AI the better I say.
Sorry if I have P****d you off in any way, it wasn`t intentional.

All the best

Dave

[Dinga69]

P***ed off? Nah, not at all. Hope you manage to find some use for them. As far as I'm aware they're still in service, have a look here:
