• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Another 2 paints for Nigel's Avro Tutor.

Both of these are representative of tails assigned to squadrons at RAF Manston, Kent, in the pre-war years.

K3409 recorded as being allocated to the oldest squadron in RAF @ 1934-35; 2 (AC) Sqn. In overall silver dope finish ; the squadron emblem (the Hereward Knot) is inside the six pointed star symbol denoting the squadron as one for Army Co-Operation. The current squadron badge would not be approved until 1938 by King Edward VIII. The red color on wheels and fin denotes it is part of 'A' flight.

K6094 recorded as being allocated to 500 (County of Kent) Squadron @ 1937, 500 Sqn was a reserve light bomber squadron; and in 1937 was mainly operating Hawker Harts / Hinds and had 2 Tutor's on strength for currency training; the other being K6121. Painted in the style of the light bomber squadrons of the time with the squadron number prominently displayed in the colour of the flight it has been allocated to, blue being "C" flight in this case, and the squadron emblem, (the White Horse of Kent) is inside the the grenade symbol denoting the the squadron role as a bomber squadron.
