mrvark Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 WRT crew names: When the 48th TFW returned to RAF Lakenheath, all of the personnel transfers that had been pending for the previous six months or so took place and many jets changed squadrons. By the time I got to photograph them in November of '91 all the crew names were different than what they carried during the war, even though the mission markings remained. I suspect the same thing happened everywhere, so I wouldn't pay too much stock in crew names painted on any jet unless to photo was taken during the war. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't bother me anywhere near enough to do anything about it. I wouldnt worry about it. If you applied the decals based on a photo from that site its not inaccurate. Its just possibly not what it actually looked like during the war. Maybe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
