Very true Megan, the RAF had full rudder flashes up to World War 2. I have seen Hawker Hurricanes with a full rudder but post war the RAF only had the small flashes on the fin. I have never seen a small flash on the rudder of a RAF aircraft. I lived on RAF bases up to migrating to Australia as a teenager. I use to ride my bike and watch the Vampires doing circuits at RAF Struby in Lincolnshire. T11's which are more or less the Mk35. Anyhow, as I said nobody would be interested in my trivial query and it doesn't matter. The wife wants the grass cut.
