Re: Beau RD351

There are several photos of this aircraft from a series taken just after the war it seems. A fiew things most get wrong:

Black lettering, as was typical of 1945 Strike Wing aircraft. For some reason most profiles, and kits, end up with red letters.

Serials under wings were applied after the war to my knowledge.

Fuselage stripe system seems to have been retained on 254 Sqn Beaus though I have not seen this on 236 Sqn after 1943. (236 Sqn flew along with 143 Sqn and 254 Sqn from North Coates) .
