First question, why was a German flag visible on the tail fin of G-ATUM?

See my earlier comment – it was operated by “Bavaria Flug” – a German airline.

Pandora’s Box ?

Seem to remember that there was a post earlier this week regarding the derelicts at Sandtoft, and their possible sale. Does anyone have a clue if the 25 has got a new home?

Also, Hanover Street B-25 “Toujour au Danger/Marvellous Miriam” (N9115Z) did fly around 1979-80 at Biggin Hill mowing the lawn. There was a poor photo of the 25 in Air Classics with faded paint and the red/white cowls. Are there any intrepid photographers who remember shooting this plane at the show?

I am very impressed at how accurately you have identified this a/c. What were your clues?

easy: triangle markings on tail = 1st Air Division

K in triangle = 379th BG

look up 379th BG codes and the only one possible is LF for the 526th BS

WA = 524th BS
FR = 525th BS
LF = 526th BS
FO = 527th BS
