Re: Late war NMF 65 sqn Mustang operations over Norway?
Hi Franek
Yes its a minefield . I've lots of photo's of Italian based Mustangs which show a different shade of grey from those based in the UK .
The Air Britain publication " The British Air Commision and Lend Lease"
indicates that 72 Mustang IVA were sent to MAAF.However I've been through al lmy other references and found that a further 46 KH series and 43 KM series were sent from UK stocks plus FB228 A MKIII with a Malcolm Canopy which served on 3 RAAF .
What I have also discovered is that from KH641 -70 = ALL these A/C were camouflaged from KH671 to the mid KH820 Some wrere camouiflaged and others not. eg KH716 "Silver" KH774 camouflaged . Its really a case of getting hold of a photo of a particular A/C as they were not necessarily painted or delivered in serial order.
Cheers
Terry
