I have bought the 1/72 Valom kit of the Handley Page Harrow MkII. It includes decals for a Harrow MkII of 37 Squadron, K7006, in early 1939 and a Harrow MkII of 24 Maintenance Unit, K7028 in 1940. The aircraft from 37 Squadron, K7006, appears to be in standard bomber camouflage - dark green, dark earth uppersurface and black undersurface. However the aircraft from 24 Maintenance Unit appears in drak green and dark earth uppersurface and all yellow undersurface (with the yellow running up to a quite high line on the fuselage). Its K7028 that intrigues me. The yellow would suggest some prototype or training role aircraft. Does anyone have any info on K7028 - perhaps in an Air Britain book on RAF serials. I have very little material on the Harrow - just an entry in the Putnam/Barnes Book together with whatever else I can dig up on the internet. My inclination is to model the aircraft of 37 Squadron, K7006, as I feel very comfortable with the background history. But if I could get some info which explains the yellow undersurface for K7028 that might make a more attractive finish. I have attached a link to the Hannants site which shows K7006 and K7028. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/VAL72118

My second entry, will be something completely different for me, a OO Gauge locomotive, a Southern Region Schools Class 4-4-0.

Can anybody please tell me what the devices marked A & B in the image below that protrude from the Harrow's engine nacelles are? They also appear in photos of Harrows in flight, so they are not removable "keys" etc. Thanks in advance for any info: -

I have the new Valom HP Harrow kit (the "Toothy Marking" boxing), and it advises overall RAF Dark Green for one of the schemes, which is a 93 Sqn machine, K6994, in 1941 with a toothy grin and red talons on the wheel spats. I was wondering how accurate this interpretation is, and if anyone can share photos of this machine please:
