The stencilling on the door comes in several variations and can also differ from factory to factory. It was invariably red. Often written upright and upside down so that it could be read from inside (looking down) and outside the cockpit. | |

Like all Polish squadrons, 315 Squadron belonged to the Polish Air Force (PAF) not the RAF. The PAF was an independent air force integrated with the RAF and over which the RAF had operational control. Personnel had both PAF and RAF ranks but swore allegiance only to the Polish Republic not King George VI. All equipment had to be purchased from the British Government and payment was taken from Polish gold reserves in Canada after the war. Below, the six pilots and two ground crew. | |

| Now I'm with Antoni.And I agree that on RAF fighter planes such markings were actually very rare.As memory serves RAF pilots used small white swastics for the kind of markings and even these were also quite uncommon.

| Antoni, Thanks for the additional information, I suspected as much re the colour of the crowbar, and took the red from a colour image of a warbird that I had on file, the same with the stenciling inside the door. I will make the changes to the profile when I get back to it, as I have put it aside and started another type. I am still looking for any information re stenciling, or is it that wartime stencils like kill marking were relatively uncommon on RAF types? For those that may be interested, this is about as far as I got before putting it aside, and for those not interested. Thanks again guys. |

| Hey guys, this question isn't so much about markings as it is about logos. I've been trying to find a logo for Supermarine, does anyone know what it looks like and where I might find an image of it? I know it gets tricky cause of all the mergers that took place but if anyone has an image I'd be very greatful. Thanks. |
