More excellent shots and is the back of the head the person I think it is? Why do some carry squadron marks and others don't please.

yes he is Del

apparently all sqn markings are being removed upon major servicing (except 41sqn - as they have 'special software upgrades) and the sqn's will just use pool aircraft

Another reason to bring back the Tigers. Although their history whenever a delete markings order was given, they just ignored it..... :grin:

Great shots Mark. :cool

85 were similar. There weren't supposed to be squadron identifiers on the aircraft in the BEF, other than sqn codes, yet 85 proudly emblazoned their aircraft with hexagons.

It would be a shame if they got rid of the sqn markings. It'll make model making boring.....
