    Height of Condor-markings?

    Okay, here we go again!

    Does anyone know the height of the G-AGAY-codes on the wings and fuselage? Maybe from other planes in civil service with similar 4-engine-configuration, like a Lancaster or a York. I guess somtehing like that must have been regulated by some kind of order (?).

    Please, please help me!

    Just my 2 cents:
    I live in Germany, and I think, we have too few allied aircraft over here. I´d really like to see some Hurricanes or Spitfires in natura here (not those painted overall “redbull”), not only Focke-Wulfs or Messerschmitts.
    And I guess it will still take some time until I´ll have the opportunity to visit the UK.

    This is a postcard I bought some years ago in Essen at the Techno Classica from a Swedish (at least I guess so) parts dealer. Papa Lima, can you translate it? I´m sorry, the resolution (?) isn´t so good, because of the size is limited to 100kb…

    @von Perthes: I know this picture in small size from the (German) magazine “Aircraft”, but hey!, this is far better! I can finally see lines of the camouflage scheme! I have thougt of completing the scheme by using a green/grey/sky? Lancaster-pattern if I don´t get any more pictures.
    It is reported the aircraft crashed in flight (fluggeraet.de), another scource said, the arcraft was written off after an German air raid (luftwaffen-experten.co.uk, I believe), however, my first thougt was, they could have been running out of spare parts. I think the landing-accident-version to be correct, now.

    Question: Does “SoC” stand for “struck off carge”? That means the aircraft was deleted from the RAF inventory?

    @Dan Johnson: Yes, indeed. Are the books of these series still availabe? (Hurricane?) My book is dated from 1993.
    A short remark about the crews: A Norwegian website stated (?) the crews were from Norway, but had been issued British passports. Well, the names of the unlucky crew don´t sound that way. The Hasegawa-Mosquito features this markings, but did not report anything about the fate of the plane(s).

    Now I have to try to get that Aeroplane issue – in Germany 🙁

    Thanks for answering!
