RAF Vought Corsairs in WWII?
My wife's grandfather recently passed away. He was a submariner (radio operator) during the war. In the stuff we have been sorting out are a number of files of his days in the Navy.
One of his photos which particularly struck me, from when he did a stint on an auxiliary aircraft carrier (the ones where they bolted on a flight deck to a merchantman), was of a flypast of three Vought Corsairs which are clearly sporting RAF roundels and tail markings.
Now I now of many American types either purchased or loaned to the RAF, but I have never heard of Corsairs being used. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
