    "The squadron two-letter code may be applied either forward or aft of the fuselage roundel according to the space available. The single aircraft letter is then to be applied at the opposite side of the roundel. The two letters of the squadron code are not to be separated under any circumstances; for example:-
    Squadron code letters TP
    Aircraft letter R
    Port side R roundel TP, reading from left to right
    Starboard side TO roundel R, reding from left to right."

    From Air publication 2656A of October 1944.

          I was surprised by the heavy exhaust staining from the 'saxophone' exhausts.

          Why saxophone?

                Mick, that's beautifully done. A really great finish.

                The figures add to it nicely too.

                Very well done indeed.

                            Really good Mick. A nice clean finish.
