XF442
@Starfire ,
My sources were a couple of artists renderings of XF442 and XE624 ( Flt Lt Pollock’s personal aircraft ) .
As I said in my previous post I was stationed at RAF Wittering in the early 70’s but by then 1 Sqn was already flying Harriers . All the photo’s that I had taken there have unfortunately been lost , so I have nothing to work from . What makes this even worse is the fact that every now and again I had Fire Picket / guard duty and I have been in the 1 sqn crew room several times but never noticed the painting that was made .
I am also wondering if all I Sqn aircraft were given the ” kill ” marking or just XF442 ( and XE624 ) . I also read on another site ( don’t know which one but I bookmarked most of them ) that the Tower Bridge marking was in day-glo and judging by the second photo this appears to be on a white background – also that it was painted under the canopy and not next to the pilots name .

Edit : Have changed the registration and added white to the wingtips and also added Flt Lt Sim’s name to the aircraft . This may not be the name that was on the aircraft but then neither was the ” kill ” marking .
