• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Another paint for Nigel's Avro Tutor

K4833 ; one of 3 Avro Tutors ; the others being K4834 and K3359; recorded as being on strength with the detached 'C' flight of 24 Sqn at RAF Northolt @1936 used for pilot and staff officer proficiency; air pilotage (navigation) training and general duties around the London area these 3 Tutors are later recorded as being on the strength of London University Air Squadron; also Northolt based.

Painted here in 1935 style marks but in overall yellow; the squadron number and stripe in the 24 Sqn chevron marking on the tail are in the colour blue which identifies 'C' flight; The identification colours for each flight within a squadron being published in Air Ministry Weekly Order (AMWO) 895 of 18 December 1924 which formally sanctioned the use of red, yellow and blue, for A, B and C Flights respectively within a squadron.

A bit about 24 Sqn: Listed as operating over 100 different types over its history No 24 was formed on 1 September 1915 at Hounslow Heath, moving to France in February 1916.It returned the UK in February 1919, disbanding a year later.

When it reformed at Kenley on 1 April 1920, it was as a communications and training squadron.; part of the training role being 'Air pilotage' or navigational skills; there was no air navigation school or Navigator specialty at the time; all navigators were pilots that had been trained in navigation techniques. During the next few years it operated a wide variety of types carrying government and senior RAF personnel as well as government dispatches during the General Strike of 1926. It also carried refresher flying course for officers returning to squadrons following staff appointments as well as providing facilities for those in staff appointments 'to keep their hand in' and maintain their flying pay. In 1927 the squadron moved to Northolt and in 1933 to Hendon, where it remained until 1946.
