Photo Comment

In June 1982 a joint 322 and 323 squadron contingent participated in the Tactical Air Meet at Jever. For this occasion a new Frisian tail band was introduced. It did not take long before high command ordered these to be removed, as no permission was given to apply these. it lasted until late 80s until the tail band did reappear.
