Re: 'Bob' Braham's Beaufighter Mk VI

Hello Hajnel - Squadron code for 141 was TW, not TH. You might want to order Modeller's datafile #6 by Richard A Franks - SAM Publications ISBN 0-9533465-5-2. Although it does not feature Bob Braham's X8147, it does amount to a pretty comprehensive guide to modelling the Bristol Beaufighter. Lots of colour piccys of all that essential detail anyway ! I need to confirm for certain, but I am inclined to think 141's Beaus were overall night black, with standard national markings, codes and serials in dull red. This was common to nightfighters of 600, 307, 89, and 29 Squadrons to list just a few. Sorry can't be more help.
