Nice set of pics. I like the `D-Day` black and white on the wings.
My father ran a hardware store and a couple of days before 6th June `44
a lorry from the local airfield turned up and the squadies bought all
the black and white paint we had in stock. It was used for painting
those stripes on the wings and fuselage of the Horsa gliders and
Stirlings. (It was a bomber but downgraded to glider tugging.) at the
local airfield. Of course we didn`t know what it was for at the time.
A couple of weeks ago I attended a get together of veterans from RAF
and Para`s and one guy came up and introduced himself and said that he
was the squaddie who had come to the shop to buy the paint. .Talk about
the long arm of coincidence.
Incidentally most people don`t seem to know why the stripes were put on.
It was just because the standard of aircraft recognition was so low
(Particularly the Navy who always shot first and asked questions after).
Cheers
Pat

Yes they do and I am off to one tonight. Trouble is that there will be very
few there because there is a football match on the TV (I understand). Some
people have strange priorities.
Cheers
