Which squadron mascot do you have to welcome your plane home safely?

[PADDY]

Hey Nick, do you call him "Maginot"..or "Siegfried..?"

As in the famous defensive system (Maginot and Siegfried Lines)...!!! He's so cute, but be careful you don't have him bursting a tyre on your P-51 with those tank trap defences of his!!!

What a great little fella and so unique!!!

And the little dog from Vienna is just gorgeous!!! What a great bunch of mascots/animals you folk have!!!

You talkin ta me ?

That took a lot out of me, don't wake me until dinner time !

It's lovely seeing all your Dogs, they all look very fit and well. Here's a couple of photos of our "little treasure". He only looks cross because he thought he saw our German Shepherd heading for his food bowl !

All the best,
Pat
