In 1941 the British came into possession of 30 F4F-3A aircraft that had been ordered by the Greek Air Force but had not been delivered before Greece fell to the Germans. As these aircraft lacked the folding wings and arrestor gear needed for carrier operations they were pressed into service as land based Martlet Mk IIIs. British radios were fitted, British markings painted on, the upper surfaces were painted in dark earth and mid stone while the lower surfaces were left in their as-delivered non-specular light grey. They served with the Navy's 805 squadron which was itself attached to several different RAF wings during 1941 and 1942.
