Hello,

Can anyone tell me if aircraft impressed into RAF service at the beginning of WW2, had their civilian registrations painted under the wings. I’ve seen photos with the G-**** in the same position as the military serial numbers, but did the registration go under the port wing or across both as when in civilian colours ?

If it had the civil marking, it’s unlikely to be one of the impressed aircraft – more likely one of the civil registrations that flew through the war.
