Hello everybody,
With the recent, and sad, passing away of Wing Commander Tim Elkington I was reminded of a thread of his on the "Flypast" forum.
It concerned an entry in his log book for the 9th September 1943 (I think he was on 1 Squadron at the time) in which he had hand-drawn a diagram of the upper wing surfaces of his Typhoon showing the black outer wings and white stripes associated with the Starkey markings. There was also a drawing of the underside wing markings, which showed that when combined with the standard Typhoon stripes, the Starkey markings made the Typhoon underside look like a zebra crossing!!!
Two questions:-
1. Have any photographs of a Typhoon with Operation Starkey markings ever come to light?
2. Can anyone provide the serial and code letters of the Typhoon he was flying that day? (unfortunately the photo of his logbook didn't show these...)
Chris - can you help???
Thanking you all in advance,
SD
