Hey Roger.

I have a colour Plate, in my Osprey book, exactly the same. It says they were kept for a matter of weeks.

So I would venture to say yes.


Cheers

Dan is currently on a vacation, far from any device that can access the internet (if he isn't, he well should be).

He'll be back in a week or so...

And yes, I am his personal secretary... I even wear the high heels to make my bellybutton look better.

Further reading, of the photo captions say that they stayed on in the squadron for a "couple of months".

The aeroplane, the squadron saw extensive combat, whether that particular aeroplane saw combat with that particular squadron is a requirement, only HTC knows, but I dont think they are that pedantic.

I suggest dropping Skuzzy a line, he will tell you.

Ciao


p.s. Delirium, do you wear those tight leather skirts though???
