Re: D-Day Stripes
Good idea that deserves support. It's a yes from me with the 8 examples below. I understand the last one Spitfire ML407, owned by Caroline Grace is a genuine D-Day veteran having flown missions over the beach head with a NZ Sqn. and scored one kill.

Re: D-Day Stripes
Michael, The Messenger is actually G-AIEK and carries false marks representing Field Marshal Montgomery's personal "taxi". The real RG333 was written off in 1945 after engine failure in Germany.

Re: D-Day Stripes
Nice idea, another quick browse through the Flickr archive. Thank heavens for the tagging!
Middle Wallop, May 1994, Canadian CH-135 painted to represent a Spitfire of 403 sqn:

Same day, Kiowa in the markings of a RCAF 430 sqn Spitfire:
136251 by Alistair Henderson, on Flickr
849 sqn Sea King AEW at Yeovilton air day, also 1994. Was there any nice weather in 1994?? If so, looks like I missed it completely!

As I dont think any of the Horsa gliders have stripes I put this one in as it was the first aircraft to land on D-Day on French soil. Ni

Thanks Darren saw this over on Flickr and you have added it. I love the contrast between the

New toy has arrived just got to know how to use it now
