A-26 at East Midlands?

I know a few of the posts in this section start with 'I know its a long shot but........'

Well, I know its a long shot but. Anyone on the group recall a Douglas A26 Invader passing through or being parked up at East Midlands sometime in the early 70's (poss. 1972)?

Told you it was a long shot. We have a whole pack of sweets left from Halloween and there's a Swizzlers lolly going if someone can come up with an answer? :P

Cheers

Steve

Thanks for the steer Viv. Further research has indicated that it wasn't actually an A-26 (boo) but the identity of the a/c is still a mystery, and probably civil, so no more said about it here....... :P That being the case I'm claiming the lolly!

Viv,

I think it would only be fair to extend the lolly offer to anyone on the EMA group who comes up with an answer.... :)
