dalea Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Looking at the IWM photos in Max Headroom's recent post, I notice that an associated photo is FRE 8810, B-17F 'Bir Hakeim'. I have the decals for this aircraft in NMF but this is the first time I have seen it in camo. Did it wear French tail stripes when in camo.? Photos don't show.

72modeler Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Wonder if it was painted Sacre Bleu overall? Seriously- never knew the French had any other Forts, other than the ones they used for geographical surveying' @Simon- neat photos and article- thanks for posting them. See the photo via Wikipedia.
