Re: 3 SAAF Sqn wasp motif

Hi Guys.
Dug out my photo's.
This version appears to be the most commonly seen,
Re th 5 sqdn Gladiators.I have never come across any 5 sqdn Gladiators mentioned in any official references.
Not even in A/C census done during the War.
Alex, what are your references?
I have seen the wheelhub quadrants and was told they were received like that from RAF sqdns as hand me downs, and not applied by the SAAF.
The sqdns operating Gladiators were 1,2 and 3.
Re possibility of different flights?? Certainly a possibility but not verified.
Colours on thse photo's may be yellow body, wings,legs with white gloves.
Hope t helps
Stefaan
