Hi Guys
Jester
I think what you SHOULD do is to remove the Gruppe markings. None is visible on either side, as confirmed by F19. Nobody, so far, on TOCH is in favour that the aircraft is from JG 27, so I think you should take at least half a step back on that issue...
F19. Thanks for checking. What I THINK the P-40/Kittyhawk shows is the code CV, which was 3 Sq RAAF, which operated in the desert at the time.
Of course I have no unit movement for this Sq and cannot straight away state where they were based at all times in North Africa and if they continued to operate in Italy or not. Somehow it feels likely they did since I believe the Desert Air Force continued its job all the way
Anyone else who can pin-point this Oz unit's bases in WW 2?
You can always send an e-mail to me on

(anyone else too if they feel like it..
)
Cheers
