Title: WIP - LF IXe 311 Sqn 1944
Post by: Kev367th on April 17, 2006, 10:34:03 AM

Flown by Wing Commander Rolf Arne Berg, Grimbergen 1944.

Norwegians drove the RAF top brass crazy with their non-standard markings.
This one was probably the most colorful of all.

Prob too much saturation, but they were the approx colors of the red/blue on Norwegian flag.
