43rd Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment RCA on Parade
The slides were labelled 43rd MAA Regt RCA however there were no dates attached. I've placed them on this page due to the few clues that are in the photos themselves.
1. The drum belongs to the 43rd Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment RCA which places the photo between 18 August 1955 and 15 October 1959. (However, this may be the 43rd MAA Regt Band on parade with another unit)

Local Training
These photos appear to be at a training session in an unknown location (could it be the hangar at Jericho where 102nd was stationed?) I've placed it in 1957 as I believe that I can see Sergeant Bill Wickett in 2 of the photos. Am I correct?
