Hello Graham,
Thank you for the update, I will of course will be needing information on the other Whitleys and the Battle if at all possible as I progress though the log book.
I have checked the GWCC website and there is no information on the airman so can only presume he survived the war.
Regards
Jason
Hello All,
Thank you for all your help, from the photo’s you can see where I think the serial is A2486.
I have also included a photo of the following page showing flights in both Whitley’s and a Battle which I am guessing for gunnery instruction but I have no idea what the abbreviations mean, neither does not say if still at Yatesbury or not.
Regards
Jason

Fouga23,
I have a big feeling your right, so will not varnish however someone did suggest cleaning with white spirit, leaving to dry thoroughly followed by putting a very thin coat of beeswax polish on top.

Hello,
Well finally finished the tail plane skin and very happy with how its turned out :D. I tried using the dry wipe marker method which sadly did not work, nor did using a new permanent marker which also made matters worse 😡
Using the nail varnish remover first which took the majority off, I then used the surgical spirit to take the final traces of the marker finishing off with a complete wipe down of white spirit.
Now all I have to do is paint it with clear satin varnish.
To everybody who took the time and trouble to advise me…a big thank you gentlemen :eagerness::very_drunk:

[QUOTE=Oldgit, is that faded recce paint on your panel?[/QUOTE]
Hi ..yes there are traces of PR blue that appears to be painted over standard underside grey, I am no expert of course and once cleaned up someone may be able to assist with further information.
Jason
Gentlemen,
I would like to thank everybody who has made some very good suggestions, will be trying out the more easier (and cheaper :highly_amused:) available items first, so will let you know if there is any progress.
Again thanks
Jason
