HI from South Africa.
I am helping a friend that is doing a small book on the memoirs of Maj John Clements,227 RAF and 16 SAAF sqn.
He flew in Beaufighter mk VI X8074 that was flown from RAF Stornaway to Gibraltar in 1942.He states that it was painted in RAF Coastal colours.It then went to Malta and operated with 227 RAF. He was shot down in X8086 a/c S in Nov 42.He is adament that it was also in Coastal colours although the Beaufighter file from SAMI and the Tamiya colour schemes for their Desert Beaus were in Desert Colours.Do any of you guys have any evidence that there were other Beaus that operated from Malta in Coastal schemes.Should this a/c have been in the Desert Scheme??
Thanks
