Gents,
I am painting a Hercules engined Halifax bomber which I had intended to depict preparing to tow a Horsa glider on D-Day ie with invasion stripes.
However I cannot find any photographic evidence that Hercules engined airframes towed on that mission. There are many with Merlin engines, but as you can see below, it is a bit late in the day for that. There are also photographs of Hercules engined aircraft towing at other times / years.
This raises the questions: Is this because of wartime censorship or simply because the fleet lined up at Tarrant Rushdon and Waterbeach with Merlin engined aircraft was a focal point. I need photographs for both integrity and to know which Sqn marking were seen. Any help gratefully received.
