Yellow T-bands were normally 3 feet width . WP784 was coded “E” with 5RFS (Source “Aviation in Birmingham” by Geoffrey Negus/Tommy Staddon. The code letter was black situated between the T-band and just aft of the fuselage roundel.

Just a reminder that we are trying to trace the codes for WP784 at 5RFS at Castle Bromwich if anyone should know them for this Chipmunk.
