As some of you may know there are three Typhoons at RAF Coningsby with Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary markings.
They are:-
ZJ912 of 17Sqn marked YB-F which i belive is the markings of a Hurricane flown by F/O Count Manfred Beckett Czernin

ZJ941 of 3Sqn marked QO-J which carries the name P/O J. Lonsdale RAFVR who flew Hurricane QO-J during the battle

Finally 29Sqn Typhoon ZJ805 which has the markings S-RO

Now my problem is that i cannot find anything about S-RO, I think its the markings for a Blenheim but beyond that I have no idea
I was also thinking that the markings may be wrong, that thay should have been SR-O but the one photo i have seen of a 29sqn Beaufighter marked B-RO quickly put that theory out the window.
