Those are "Novascale" decals, and have heard nothing good about them, just questionable at this point in time. Unsure of quality until someone comes up with the goods here.
Hmm, '41-'44 3 sqn flew the P-40 Kittyhawk, then the Mustang '44-'45...... blue tail, white southern cross.
Interesting, the serial is shown with 3 sqn and transferred out? But not the year.
That Hurricane served in 73 sqn in Africa in '41........................
Sgt, No. 126 Squadron, F. Davidson, bailed out from EF569 coded X-Z on the 13/06/43...
Sgt, No. 126 Squadron, J. S. Davidson claimed two Bf 109's while flying JK522 coded MK-O, don't know what date though...
Nope, not them either. Turns out they are brothers.
Just to show what I've found so far.... and the 2sort list has more in it. There are only a few who were not pilots. Some Naval and Army officers and a couple of EM. Submariners and one RN Lt involved in Jaywick. Quite a list, never had any idea there would be so many, and still counting. Thanks to some of yous guys on the forum.0h gz
Do you have this lad....
F/O J. T. Davidson, No. 137 Squadron, Manston.
Davidson, while flying a Mk. IV equipped with 40mm cannons, destroyed two trains, one at Cotemark and one at Statisrate in Belgium, 23/07/43, he was, unfortunately, shot down and killed by fire from a friendly fighter...
Don't have the code for the aircraft, but have the serial....KZ662.
Meanwhile the first CAM-ship scheduled to sail with an MSFU pilot had been made ready for catapult trials on the Clyde, and Plt Off H. J. Davidson, RAFVR, made the first launch from SS Empire Rainbow on the 31st of May, steaming downriver at some 10 knots. When the two of the rockets on the catapult failed to ignite, and the throttle lever edged back - reducing power - owing to the friction nut not being tightened, the Hurricane only barely escaped striking the water as Davidson struggled to gain airspeed. He eventually climbed away and landed safely at Abbotsinch, having also discovered that he'd forgotten to lower any flap for the launch. He nevertheless accompanied Empire Rainbow on her first voyage to Halifax as a CAM-ship, and was followed by Plt Off A. R. McL. Campbell in Empire Moon within a fortnight. By the of June six of the 35 CAM-ships had started sailing with the Atlantic convoys.
Just need to find the serial now....
Edit:
