Hi When i was in devonport dockyard, as the falklands was kicking off, the dockyard painters were mixing batches and colours of paint to make south atlantic grey as there was none available in NSN stocks as you went past the frigates moored on the dockside on the river tamar, i don't think i saw one that was the same colour south atlantic grey cheers jerry

Hi Where did you find the kit to purchase ? cheers jerry

Hi Thanks for posting it it reminded me that i still had to find a mosquito book and a lancaster book, to complete my set hopefully they will soon be crossing the pond cheers jerry

Hi Not sure of the accuracy of it would a revell 1:32 mosquito nose make a cheaper conversion to the 1:32 tamiya, or does the revell have shape issues cheers jerry

Hi Could well be as the crash report mentioned yellow spinners and underside of aircraft painted lamp black, swastikas and letters obliterated cheers jerry

Hi Found this on the web you may know this already but just incase "The ID discs of the crew indicated Gruppe III and Oberleutnant J Speck was the Staffelkapitän of 9/ KG55. The aircraft code lettering had apparently been recently changed to G1+EM and the compass card which was dated 29th April 1941 also had this lettering, so it was assumed by Air Intelligence that the aircraft and its crew had transferred to 4/KG55. The Bordfunker could not be interrogated owing to his injuries." cheers jerry

Hi Read here for the correct official method of physically researching a crash site MOD permission is required cheers jerry https://www.gov.uk/guidance/aviation-archaeology

Hi As to PRO / Kew maybe try a search in i think it was air 22 266/ 267 ? or air 41 for crash reports, maybe even air 50 ? or the AVIA aircraft type reports mind you this is from a memory of about 20yrs ago WW2 dept was Ai2(g) i think PM sent cheers jerry
