500 RAF Sqn
Hi from S africa.
I am busy on a book on 15 Sqn SAAF that was ,with 454 RAAF, 500 RAF, part of 235 then 253 Wing.201 Naval Coop Group. I need someone to help me with the colour of the Baltimores once they became a Light Bomber Wing at about Aug 44.I have spoken to many Vets and they seem to remember grey and greens,or a green tinge all over. I hava an idea that it was OD/ neutral Grey but nobody has ever confirmed it for me.I have seen both high contrast and low contrast schemes.I also have a/c in an overall single colour that appear lighter than OD. In the beginning they operated in daylight but became night bombers in Jan 45. Does anybody have any data?? I have not seen Ian Baker ever describing those colours in his series in Aircraft Modelworld.Did he ever write about the Med Coastal Scheme's?? I also have a few articles from Ian Huntley but he only mentions the Desert Scheme in the ones I have. If someone has any data on 500 RAF or 454 RAAF Sqn it will help as they used the same colours and frequently shared the same a/c at one stage or another as they were rotated throught the 3 sqn's. Thanks Stefaan Bouwer
