 | Nice. The nose art shot is really good. I know what a huge pain it is to shoot in that kind of lighting and environment.

| ID when only in Daytime I suppose but when you have Hali/lancs taking off and landing at night it does not seem needed. Oh well fact is stranger than fiction

| they were not the only halifax squadron to do it, 158 sqn belonged to 4 Group and two other squadrons from that group had their own fin markings.......... (source for both images- RAF)  here we see the French 346 sqn, based at Elvington, note the red diamond on the fin of this Mk.III, although they also operated the Mk.V........  and here we see a 640 sqn Mk.III, based at Leconfield,note again the tail markings all 3 of these squadrons were heavily involved with the day bombing in preparation for D-Day so i would cirtainly imagine it is for the purpose of identification, these profiles all represent aircraft about the time of D-Day........ some lancs also carried very different tail markings, but that's for annother reason and annother day..........
