The D-Day stripes were very often painted hastily without bothering to mask off the unit markings.

You clearly seem to know... I think I can guess but I'm not saying a thing.

I'm amazed that you will not saying a thing, can you propose serial number or do you
want me to ?

Ah! Is this the Mustang used by Cheshire to mark targets for 617 squadron? In which case it'll be HB837, coded AJ*N

Thank you, Tom! give the game away...

Bravo that's it ! I've found the informations while searching in FSX repaints, I will convert it for the Kerry Clement model.

Cheers

Meanwhile...

...Except Nigel it is told nowhere that this plane was coded AJ-N !

A. I recognised the photo, B. the codes were apparently never painted on, and C. I have an exhaustive list of all aircraft used by 617 Sqn during the War. This one subsequently went to 38 MU, and then to 541 Sqn. It only served with 617 for 4 months, from 22.6.1944 to 2.10.1944.
