Re: 111 Sqn RAF at 1938 Paris Air Show
Hi,
Profile Magazine number 111 has colour views of Gillan's L1555.
just has Sqdn crest on tail and rank under aft of cockpit, shown both sides.
Center views show L1584 with the 111 on the fuselage but colours shown halved, red top white below.
Photo on page 6 has two a/c but they have no Squadron numbers on fuselage, L1550 and L1558, crest on tail .
Photo on page 7 shows a/c with 111 on fuselage sides, some in what looks like white others with numbers split white below, darker colour on top .This time L1555 is shown fourth in but has all white "111" on sides.
Also they have the serial numbers under the wings.
EXTRA from Fighter Squadrons of the RAF -
With Hurricanes the squadron at first carried the number "111" in BLUE on the sides with the CO's a/c "111" in BLUE and WHITE. It then carried "TM" until the outbreak of war when they were changed to "JU".
