Hi.
The Dutch spit is from 1949-1954 I think. I believe our spits were out of frond line use from 1954, but might be a little earlier.
Chris, is that dutch one a skin of your's? Never seen it. Not uploaded to M4T is it? Shame!! :lol:
The Dutch spits were first in RAF camouflage. Grey-Green. Their squadron code was H-individual number. Then 322 squadron went to the indies, and the spits were painted in some green colour. After their return, they were painted silver, and they were coaded 3W-individual number.
3W had been the squadron's code during their time in the RAF. Spitfires were also flown at the fighter school I believe, but I don't know to much about that.
My information might be incorrect, it's all based on memory.
Cheers,
Joppe
