Re: Vickers Wellington of No 205 Group RAF

Kurtl - Wellington Mark X. Usually night (black), middlestone & dark earth. Nose turrets were often sealed with a strip of doped fabric. Some squadrons had no code letters e.g. 70 but only the aircraft letter in dull red. My late father was a pilot on 70 from late 1943 to mid 1944 & completed a tour of 38 sorties.
Hope this helps.
Bill
