Re: Early RAF Liberators with Disney Characters
Stig......... this is Kaki's photo, a Mk.II almost certainly AL579; not "M" though, it's "C" or "G" (most likely as its Goofy). 159 Sqn. had a Mk.II "M" serial AL550.
The one in Andy's colour photo is a B.VI.

Re: Early RAF Liberators with Disney Characters
Thanks Nick

So a completely different aircraft.
I agree with the code being either C or G.

Cheers
Stig

Re: Early RAF Liberators with Disney Characters
The 2 "Goofy"'s are very similar on the Mk.II and VI so probably the letter / cartoon combination were carried over. What bothers me is the serials on the Mk.II photos ( Facebook and Kaki's colour one) seem to be in different locations on the fuselage ie. low or high so maybe one isn't AL579.
