Re: Leonard Birchall's Catalina AJ-155
The scheme will have been, and appears to be in the photograph, the standard Temperate Sea Scheme of Extra Dark Sea Grey and Dark Slate Grey over Sky.
The full code was QL.A. There is a photo of QL.F in Coastal Support and Special Squadrons of the Royal Air Force, by John D.R.Rawlings, published by Janes 1982, ISBN 0 7106 0187 5. The codes are carried on the fuselage under the pylon, the Q and L each side of the first wing strut, the F aft of the second wing strut.
