BAC Spitfire XIV.

[Guest]

The pilot, who borrowed the 21, was of senior rank, but the painter of the aircraft was adamant that the (oblong, not triangular) badge of rank was that of a Squadron Leader, which consists of 5 bands:- Royal Blue, Air Force Blue, Red, Air Force Blue, Royal Blue, with the Air Force Blue stripes twice the width of the others. The photo, in "Fighter Squadrons of the RAF," (probably taken at Blackpool) bears out the oblong nature of the badge.

Sorry Edgar I should have said the Leaders Pendant for JEJ - MV268 I believe that was a triangular one.

The Air racer has been put on hold as I want to do the original mk21 version.

A quick update.

I just need the postman to drop a letter in the post box with the serial number decals and then put the serial numbers on and its done.

I will post the end results in the pictures section as soon as the clear coat has dried.
