Not being ex aircrew, or even ex-service, I hope you will all forgive my intrusion in this amazing thread. Though no else appears to have mentioned it there another feature of the above link that relates to the thread title.

If you followed the link posted in the above message #5786 of 11th June you also find a photograph of a group of airmen posed in front of an AT-6 reading a newspaper with the headlines announcing the Allied Armies landing in France.

You may notice one airman wears an RAF cap with the white band and that the AT-6 is coded "BP-251". These BP-200 codes were carried on the of the AT-6s assigned to No.4 British Flying Training School at Falcon Field, Mesa, Arizona. This is clearly a publicity photograph taken at 4 BFTS.
