236 Squadron Blenheim Codes
Sorry, that should have been “… hard-and-fast rule …”.

236 Squadron Blenheim Codes
A study of Blenheim photographs seems to indicate that there was no hard-and-fast about the positioning of the unit code (before or after the fuselage roundel). However, on Page 280 of Graham Warner’s book “The Bristol Blenheim – A Complete History” there is a photograph of several 236 Squadron Blenheims that gives us some idea of the application in this unit at least.
Some inconsiderate “erk” is standing in exactly the wrong position to allow us to see properly, but sufficient of the code is visible on two aircraft to suggest that the “FA” unit code is after the roundel.
Hope this is of some use.
