Gloster Javelin

With the Gloster Javelin, we’ve really gone back in time, and thus harder to get loggings by enthusiasts.

Except for one exercise in 1966, I have no other details except for month and year. Anyone who can supply additional information is welcome to e-mail me at info@aviationinmalta.com
