Yes,he flew a Mustang Mk. III when commanding 150 Wing coded "WHC".
Commanding the Hunsdon Wing,he flew a Mustang Mk. IVa (P-51K),also coded "WHC".On the Mustang Mk. IVa,the code was located forward of the roundel.On the Mk. III there are conflicting reports of "WH-roundel-C and WHC as on the Mk. IVa.There were a couple of Polish squadrons on 150 Wing,maybe Franek can contact some of the surviving members of these squadrons to see if they can remember which lay-out is correct for the Mk. III?
