Hi all,

Here are a couple of photos of from a Betty marked in surrender paint. These photos were found in our Museum archives but did not have a name to them. We are working on finding that out during an overhaul of the archives. In the meantime, Enjoy!

That pilot can't be feeling all that welcome despite the size of that welcoming committee.

Anyone know what happened to that plane? I assume it was scrapped.

Tons of photos with captions, you have to scroll a bit to get to the surrender flight photos:

GREEN CROSS TO BEAR — Vintage Wings of Canada

There is a story told on the sides of every aircraft of the Second World War. It’s there in visual code written in worn and tired war paint, easily interpreted by those who speak this language of history.

One was ditched on the way back to Tokyo near Hamamatsu.
The other was scrapped in Kisarazu, Chiba Pref. after the mission.

Ditched one.
