Re: 218 Squadron - HA-R - FRANCE - 1940

Hallo all,

I hope this is HA-B, and logic suggests it could be. Maybe more photos will come to light to prove it.
However no matter what way I look at it I cannot see anything other than 'R'. The trailing leg of the 'R' is where it should begin and at the correct angle.

One question I would like to ask is does anyone else think that the HA-R in the trees is on fire ?
Also could Peter tell us the original source of that photo. Was it from a German, French or Belgian source ?

On the very small possibility that it might be P2360 lost on May 14th. I don't think so because P2360 joined the squadron on May 13th. Whatever about an individual letter I doubt if the squadron personnel had enough time to paint on properly the full code.

Regards,

Martin.
