Donkey the waist gunner?
How about monkey the Spitfire pilot? (SpitfiRRRRe for chumpy.)

And the same pilot with his other ‘confirmed destroyed’ on the same occasion: the Spitfire he flew (MK346 ZF-T).

Right.
From G-CDRU to a WG/CDR‘s aircraft.

Antoni, as they say, to err is human.
If one man had said in the past that something was red, but he now says that the thing was in fact blue I think it is reasonable to assume that he has changed his mind because he has now seen conclusive evidence that denied what he had thought was right.
In this particular case: I was wrong in the past. The colours in the memorial project are correct.

Certainly in the photographs on page 74 of the badge it looks as if blue is the colour on the bottom.

No, it only looks that in a black and white photo the bottom colour appears as a pale grey. Judging colours according to shades of grey in B&W photos is a tricky subject.

In the past there has been some confusion as to the actual colour layout, but those in your memorial project are correct. This is artwork of the badge as stencilled on 302 Sqn Spitfires in 1943, researched and drawn by Robert Grudzien for a forthcoming book.

Also heading overseas…. well, the Solent!

Landing over seas (well, one sea).

A ‘modern’ broad on an aeroplane!

The batman’s arms broadly spread for an aeroplane.

Most of us have no idea what the S/N of a particular A/C is and on the most part dont care!!
We may however have an interest in the Aircraft in question, if we knew what it was????
…
Please put the A/C type in the thread title, you might get more people looking.

But then again, some of us have no idea what a particular aircraft type is, so perhaps a few words of description (‘obscure inter-war training biplane’, for example) would also be useful.
And then of course such descriptions should not use too difficult words (such as ‘obscure’ and ‘inter-war’ in the example above) as some of us have no idea what they mean.
