I had previously skinned this aircraft on the old F4F-4 shape in 2004 and as its a nice scheme I've redone it for the current one.
This Wildcat Mk V (FM-1) of 846 Sqn FAA operated from the escort carriers HMS Trumpeter and HMS Tracker in June 1944 while covering the D Day landing against U Boat attack. As such it had full D Day stripes painted on. It was named "That Old Thing", possibly referring to some disparaging remark from a pilot of a more modern ride.
