Re: Piper Cub L-4 unit designation

Leendert,
Thanks for the reply.

I've seen the picture of the 'Flitfire' original, and have seen the other with the 'Flitfire' paint scheme in person. What I am looking for is something about actual, in-service use of the Cub by the Brits, and all I have to go on is that one statement (see my orig post) from The Fighting Grasshoppers that some were given to the British.

My guess (and it is only a guess) is that they would have painted them like they did their Austers:

This is just one of those things that happen from time to time, a tidbit of information, or an idea, that carried to an extreme can lead to an obsession - and I think I'm close to becoming obsessed to find out about those British Cubs!

Cheers
Kerry
