Hi
just curious

the photo shows a 'type C ' roundel which i thought didnt come into use until May 42

or did 41Sqn use it earlier in April ?

cheers

Hi al,

on these links are probably photos on same plane:

http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.p...=219081&page=2

https://forum.keypublishing.com/foru...n-RAF-history=

Some info from the 1st link about roundel types:
The small roundels are the type applied experimentally to night fighters and 'C' type roundels did not start to appear until the middle of April 1942, but generally from mid-May. So there is nothing odd about the 'A' type roundels under the wings. The most sensible explanation for the small roundels on the fuselage would be that it was transferred from a night fighter squadron

….but this plane was just with this squadron:

Well Guys, which one is it?

W3852 (Col's details)
W3654 (Wojtek's thoughts)

As far as I can see there is nothing visible on the actual aircraft so how did for instance you Col come up with W3852? I don't have any of the sources you quote, but I suppose it came from a book by Phil Listemann?

Since Phil Listemann is using TOCH as well, perhaps he, in such a case, can give us some further details?

Cheers
Stig

Hello,

ID? Simple, 41 Sqn coding ('EB'), and the name 'Peggy' under the windscreen. Confirmed by Andy Saunder's photo on p.626 of Stew Brew's Blood, Sweat and Courage.

Phill Listemann was the source for the photo of W3852 (p.625), in the aforementioned reference. No more, no less.

W3852: EB-W - Forced-landed near St.Omer 12.4.1942

W3654: EB- - P/O Albert van ROOD -Ejected from exploding aircraft, chute opened, landed safely, POW, 12.4.1942. Most likely a total wreck.

Steve Brew states unequivocally, that W3852: EB-W 'Peggy', was flown by F/L William 'Bill' Palmer on 12.4.1942.

Col.
