Not strictly a model thread, but Lest we Forget

[Radpoe Spitfire]

A new memorial has been unveiled to the crew of 9 Sqn Lancaster DV334 WS-C, which crashed near Milton, Notts while attempting to land at RAF Gamston 3/12/43.

If you wish to visit, the memorial can be found at the entrance of the Milton Mauseleum. The village lies near the A1 and is just off the Markham Moor roundabout- you can see the domed tower of the mauseleum straight in front of you as you pass the turn for Tuxford. Go through Milton, take the left turn as you go out of the village & its about 300 yds up the hill on your left

If possible, can anyone please tell me if 9 Sqn had yellow bordered codes at this time as I have a couple of Lancs in the stash & would like to build this aircraft.

Many Thanks Rad

Yellow bordered codes didn't come in until mid/late '44 when the frequency of daylight ops increased, so in my opinion you can safely model your Lanc with the standard dull red squadron codes.
