• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    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.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Ok then, I found a reference on the interweb , that among things as diverse as Cierva Autogyro and Bristol Blenheim,
#1 AACU (Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit) RAF also had a couple of Tutor's on strength. As far as I can ascertain, these, like the autogyro's were used for calibrating AA gun radars , rather than target towing , but I guess the stripes per AMO (Air Ministry Order) A.687/41 would come in handy to keep itchy fingers off of triggers.

Again, as far as I can find out , #1 AACU operated in detached flights , I have found references to several flights lettered from 'A' to 'Z' ; based at secondary airfields all around the country with no flight being at a particular 'base' very long.

Not decided on an upload yet just putting this out there for feedback.

Yes, why not Pete, the more variants the better. I need to check up, but I'm pretty sure I've seen Oxfords striped up the same way.
