Re: Spitfire camouflage

Yet the two behind have the "proper" roundel, and supposedly are all the same unit at the same time.

However, I place some doubt on the caption. We have three different styles of unit/individual marking. One full coding. One with only the individual letter forward, one with the individual letter aft, and both of these are coded A. I suspect the photo is taken at an MU or similar second-line organisation.

Is there any known pattern to these "B" roundels on the fuselage? Units, timescale?
