Re: D-Day markings
Not familiar with those Gladiators, but if they crossed the Channel, then they better have had D-Day stripes. Even after the USAAF wanted to dicontinue using them, the Navy requested that the underside markings be retained for quick Friend-Foe ID.
An aircraft operating between England and France without them would be subject to a shoot first and ask questions later policy.
I guess the real issue id dating the pix of the Gladiators.
