Title: Spitfire (5?) with white stripes
Post by: Krusty on May 17, 2006, 11:55:36 AM

"AH * M belonged to 332(N) Sqn in 1942 though it did not have a long career with the squadron. The Castle Bromwich-built Spitfire was shot down over Dieppe by a FW 190. The Norwegian pilot, Sgt Olav Djønne, bailed out over the Channel and was rescued.

The stripes were applied for the postponed operation Rutter in July 42 and there’s a possibility that the aircraft still wore these stripes during the Dieppe raid.

The serial AD325 was most likely not painted on this aircraft, as was common on 332 Sqn aircraft in 42."

Nice white stripes. Found this on ARC today. Anybody interested in doing it? :)

Strat, I believe the one you are talking about was one of the old Spit5 skins.  I could be wrong though.:confused:

Heh, sorry I didn't remember that. I didn't fly SpitVs before the update, remember? :P
