I would be very interested to
find out
about the origin of this fine painting by Mr.
Shigeo Koike. It is clearly
RG116, the aircraft featured on the front cover
of the
Unofficial Account. Is there a photograph on which the painting was based? Is it known
who the pilot and observer are? As far as I can tell, it is not a 140 Squadron aircraft.
Who was it who gave their aircraft numbers instead of letters?
Doug Frostick
had
another photograph of
RG116
. The pilot on the nose of
Nº 6
at
Amiens / Glisy
is
Douglas
'Pete' Petrie
, who was posted to the W.S.U. (Wing Support Unit) at the time.
Gordon
Cole
is the pilot of
Nº 4 (PA888)
.
