Re: Lockheed Ventura Mk V in Coastal Command
 

That's not a scheme - or schemes - I've seen mentioned before. When you do get access to your sources can you please give more information?

The photos of 404 Sq do not open for me: I recall some oddities on 404 Sq Beaus but not what you describe, more akin to apparentlywhite sides (and bellies?)
