There are a couple of Toucanos that have been painted up in B of B fighter colour schemes, one of which appears to carry the codes QJ.
Does anyone know if this represents 616 Squadron, or is it just another incantation of 92 Squadron?

I am waiting for the C-130J in the Lancaster tribute scheme to appear!

Oh, I thought that this had been done in anticipation of the BBMF being grounded in the government austerity cuts – on the basis that, at an air show, if joe public looks up and sees something flying with wings and a propellor, he says “oh look, there’s a Spitfire”!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 72 (R) sqn Tucanos represent one 66 sqn and one 92 sqn Spitfire, but the BoB pilots (Robert Oxspring & Charles Kingcombe) they are commemorating both went on to command 72 sqn.
