03/15/2003. Remarks by Chris Pinn: "It features Hispano 0.787 in (20 mm) cannons with short barrel fairings and is therefore an earlier aircraft than that in photo No. 2331. The stripes on the underside are not 'D-Day stripes', which were carried on both under and upper surfaces, but "Don't shoot, I'm not a Fw 190 - stripes" which were a throw back to the Typhoon." |
