Re: Individual letter on F/Lt. Frederick Hilley Bradford's P-51 Mustang MK.IV?
Hello,
Just to add a little to Franek's remark on those Mk IV's and the camoflage.
Taken from the Camoflage and Markings RAF Fighter Command Northern Europe 1936 to 1945 series issue on the N.A. Mustang.
Quote
Mustang IV's entered Squadron service during March/April 1945 and althougyh a small number were already camoflaged in accordance with Drawing Pattern E (page 35) (these went mainly to Italy and North African and Indian bases) those operating in the European Theatre were generaly finished aluminium overall.
end quote
So only the first few Mk IV's as Franek suggests would be camoflaged.
Franek, where did you get the number from of the first 30 please. As the serial numbers KH685 and KH 695 fall outside of the first 30 which were KH641 to KH670.
All for now
Alex
