272 Sqn
Beaufighter X
NT907
P/O W H Billing RCAF
F/Sgt H Thornton
Missing from attack on ships off Finale Ligure. Both crewmen rest in Milan War Cemetery.

Did the 272 squadron belong to the Coastal Command?

Friends model makers, have thought about making the model of the Beufighter...
Do you have some photos or the codes for the colors of the model?

In advance we thank

Ciao

Fabio
