So...maybe...ah...the reanimated corpse of Ernst Rohn?

Huh, Europeans, They all look the same... ;D

Interesting! In American dictionaries, the spelling would be "BAIL." Do the Brits spell this differently?

Cheers,

Oddly, it reminds me of this...

Judging by the chalk sketch of the letters on the deck, it should have been "BAIL OUT" But these "painters" seemed to use the Britsh verb indeed. The online dictionary says

1. bale out - to jump out of an airplane with a parachute

2. bale out - to leave or escape a harmful or difficult situation

Definition of BALE OUT

to jump out of an airplane with a parachute; to leave or escape a harmful or difficult situation… See the full definition

Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo, Bureau Number 1393, after LT John Smith "Jimmy" Thach tipped the aircraft onto its nose on the Saratoga's deck, 11 March 1940. Ensign Edward Butch O'Hare also flew this aircraft several times during the summer and fall of 1940

I'm thinking John Thach is looking down at us and saying "why do they they always post this picture?"

Not RAF, but British Army, possibly RAC, judging by cap badge.
