Turbinlite

Their was an oil painting hanging in the Officers Mess at R A F Sealand showing the Douglas Havoc being modified to Turbinlite standard ,It quite intriqued me as this Station was usually associated with Tiger Moths at that time.

The Artist , Jim Chaplin , informed me that the the installation of the Turbinlite kit was in fact carried out there.A little known facet of R A F Sealands wartime history.

Somewhere I have a photo of the painting .

Hopefully another piece of the jigsaw .
