Whitley MkVII BD622 WL-U, No.612 Sqn, Coastal Command RAF, 1942 Repaint of the original aircraft by Edward Cook, Corrado La Posta, and Brian Hill. James Allen denies all responsibility, but I'm not sure I believe him. Particular thanks to Brian Hill for allowing me to paint over his original textures, much of which I have kept for the lower surfaces. Whitleys flew with Coastal Command from September 1939, when No.58 Sqn was temporarily attached, until June 1943, when No.612 Sqn traded its MkVIIs in for Wellingtons. As a number of the MkVII aircraft attributed to Coastal Command were in fact ex-Bomber Command or surplus to requirements MkVs converted to MkVII standard, these began their career in Night Bomber colours. Aircraft built specifically as MkVIIs were, of course, finished in standard Coastal Command colours.
