Re: Belgian Congo
Alex,
yet again, 'Avions' to the rescue - issues 97 & 98 (April & May 2001) had an article on Belgian Congo A/C in WW2.
types used: -
Puss Moth, Leopard Moth, Caudron Pelican, Ju52/3m (ex-SABENA), Fokker F.VII/3m (ex-SABENA), Hawker Hardy (1, serial K4316, ex-Rhodesian, probably ex-237 Sqn, as used in Ethiopia), Oxford
From the rather poor pics of the Hardy, it seems to be in standard RAF desert camo - dk earth/mid-stone/lt blue ? -Belgian roundels & fin flash painted directly over the RAF ones, RAF serial, no other markings visible. It carries the large underwing stores containers & has 'balloon' tyres.
Post-war, until 1960
Oxford, Dove, Leopard Moth, T-6G
