Hi guys,
My dad said a friend at work gave him the Revell 1/48 B-25 kit for some reason. So I'm toying with the Idea of making it an RAF bird.
Question(s) are:
What units in the RAF had a B-25?
Where can I find decals?
305 Squadron could only find enough personnel to form one flight of B-25s. They only flew a handful of operations before it was decided to replace them with Mosquito FBiVs as they only required a crew of two.
Great info Wojtek, especially the codes/serials. This squadron's use of Mitchells gets very little coverage normally.
Another air accident took place on 30th August 1943.Due to the failure of engines the SM-L FV911 made an emergency landing near Little Snoring .The machine got quite serious damages and the crew was wounded.. The crew members - Z.Stępień, J.Lemieszonek, J.Witek and B.Bruliński.
The first operation was Ramrod 292. The last one was the Ramrod381. And there is a difference between my info and posted by Antoni. The last operations was taken on 21st December 1943 when two B-25s of 305 Squadron participated in attacking of V-1 launchers near Puchervin. ALso my source says Mitchells stayed with 305 Squadron untill 15th January 1944.
