wally7506 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Soooo, LNSF Mosquitoes Jan-May 1945 (139, 128, 142, 162, 163, 571, 608, 692 Squadrons) were they dull red?? or dull red with yellow outline?? white outline?? I know that some of these squadrons had simple dull red codes in 1944, but any help with 1945 will be appreciated. There were changes to some of the codes in 1945. For instance many of the fighter-bomber squadrons (like 487 and 107 for example) switched from sky codes to dull red. Cheers to anyone that can help.

Alex Gordon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 G'day Wally,I found this piccie of a 571 squadron Mosquito dated September 1944 on Wikipedia. As I understand it the addition of the yellow surround was for night operating aircraft that were being used on daylight ops after June 1944.If elements of the Light Night Striking Force were being used on daylight missions then their red code letters would have been modified accordingly.If not then the code letters would more than likely have remained unaltered. Hope this helps,I've been known to be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally7506 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the reply. Hadn't heard that one. Might explain why 105 Sqn changed to white codes with black outline ... or why 692 Sqn codes were black with yellow outline.
