Richard,
Your project(s) sounds rather interesting and I am curious to know what you're working on; skins for a flight sim?, a webpage?, a book or an article? Just wondering because I'd like to see the finished product. Stephen |

Project is a number of profiles for a book about the History of RAF Coltishall being written by the Unit's last CRO. I'm doing them as a freebie as I did a large number of profiles for a poster showing the majority of the RAF and RN aircraft operated on the station from 1940 to 2006 that was produced for the station's last Families Day in Sep 05. (Only missed 3 type's (Master, Proctor and Brigand T5 (OCU Det in the 1950's)) due to my last trip to Kew being disrupted by the events in London in July 2005). I've already done a post war 'Silver' Polish Mk III from 315 Sqn and just want to do some of the 150 Wing Mustangs of 19,65 and 122 Sqn's that were at Coltishall's satellite at Matlask in Sep/Oct 44. (I don't have the time or budget to get to Kew to find the info on 65 or 122 Sqn's aircraft and likewise cannot get to IWM to see if they have any photos there (Did Hendon at the start of the project and didn't know about this site until early last year (didn't have broadband until then).

Richard
I can offer the following: FB155 probably M FZ165 J FB142 F FB189 D FB872 should be FX872 code not known FZ195 K FZ161 mistake not recorded with 19Sqdn FB185 FB131 I (eye) FB132 might be T SR433 might be R FB399 FB189 repeated HB872 H FB112 FX939 might be P FZ162 There is a photo of F, E and B at Matlask in the book “Fighter Squadron” published by Derek Palmer who is the historian for the 19Sqdn Association http://www.19sqnallranksassoc.org.uk/ I think 19 is a shadow sqdn at TWTU RAF Valley at the moment.
