British Aviation Colours of WWII

Сорри за то, что третий раз (кстати тема по цветам не запинена)

Собрал в один pdf статьи Петера Лукаса о мальтийских спитфайрах из SAM 2015/2016 и 2020 года

Там же чуть позже будет ревью книги Брайана Каучи на ту же тему

Давай тогда тут продолжать
Я скомпоновал 2015/12 - 2016/1 + 2017/8 и 2017/9 и 3 номера из 2021 (тут я ошибся когда говорил о 2020)
2024 сейчас долью

Здравствуйте коллеги.
Прошу помощи в поиске ответа на возникший вопрос. На фото британские самолеты разных подразделений и разного времени. Но все они имеют темную кайму фюзеляжного О.З. Узнать цвет и назначение этой каймы я не смог. М
ожет кто то знает ответ?

И какой-то из номеров про Мальтийцев был всегда не полный. Сейчас не помню какой

COLOUR CONUNDRUM
A Malta Story Concluded
PART 2 The Malta Spitfires June to October 1942
By Paul Lucas
revious articles dealing with the
camouflage and marking of the Malta
Spitfires under the title 'A Malta Story
were published in the December 2015, January
2016, August 2017 and September 2017 issues
of Scale Aircraft Modelling. This article picks up
from where the September 2017 article came to

Operation Grinnel /Operation Bellows
circa 29 July - 11 August 1942
(The Pedestal Convoy)
Operation Knapsack/Insect 23 June -
21 July
The 32 Spitfres of Operation Knapsack left the
UK aboard SS Empire Kestrel, which carried four
Spitfires, SS Empire Darwin, which carried
twenty two Spitfires and SSEmpire Tern, which
carried six Spitfires as part of Corwoy OG 86,
which left the UK on 2 July 1942. Most of these
Spitfires were delivered to Malta as Operation
Insect on 21 July.
Operation Bellows was the third occasion
when Spitfires were ferried directly to Malta
from the UK without passing through Gibraltar.
For this operation HMS Furious returned to the
UK where she loaded forty one Spitfires, which
had been either taken by road directly to Port
Glasgow or ferried by air via Renfriew as had
happened with Operations Newman and
Oppidan.Thirty two of
these Spitfires were
those scheduled to
depart the UK in the
regularthree
weekly Gibraltar
Iconvoy during
August under the
larger naval aircraft of the 1920s and 30s into the
air and also arresting landing aircraft. As with the
ski-jump' fitted to the Mustrious Class carriers of
the 1980s for the Sea Harrier, on take-off, the
ramp had the effect of precipitating the alrcraft
into the air at the end of the rise at which point
the wings had a high angle of attack to the line
of flight. In view of the Spitfire's relatively high
stalling speed in comparison to the earlier
generation of biplanes, this action of projecting
the aircraft into the air with a high angle of
attack at a relatively low airspeed was hazardous
In the extreme because these two factors could
potentially produce a lethal combination.
On Sunday 1 August, HMS Furious put to sea
to conduct a trial to determine whether Spitfires
fitted with the then standard D.H. 5/39
propeller could be safely flown off. The
test inwolved inserting wooden chocks
into the flaps as they were
Two of the
Spitfires
that had been
carried aboard 55 Empire
Darwin arrived at Gibraltar in a damaged
condition having been over-stowed with heavy
equipment (sald to be drums of dry cement),
which had stove in the Spitfire's packing cases
and caused significant damage to the aircraft.
Whilst the Spitfires were considered to be
repairable, the necessary work could not be
done in time for Operation Insect, which salled
from Gibraltar on 20 July. In the event, twenty
nine Spitfires tookoff but one crashed in the
process leaving twenty eight to arrive safely in
Malta despite attempts by the Luftwaffe to
intercept them en route.

In the absence of photographs of Spitfires
that are known to have taken part in Operation
Insect, it is currently assumed that they would
have been finished in the Malta blue/slate grey
scheme (provisionally identified as Deep Skyand
Dark Slate Grey on the upper surfaces with Light
Mediterranean Blue on the under surfaces) at
Gibraltar. That said howrever, because the Malta
blue/slate grey scheme was supposed to be
appllied, this does not mean that it actually was
applied to every aircraft. It may be the case that
it was only partly applied or even omitted
altogetherifit was operationally necessary to
meet a deadline to assemble, test and get the
Spitfires aboard the carriers in time foran

camouflage policy appearing to be walved, at
least in part for the sake of operational
expediency, is provided by Operation Bellows,
which took place at the same time as the big
Malta convoy, Operation Pedestal, in August.

fourteen Spitfires and what are described as
'various stores' were embarked on 30 July and
work commenced to remove the Browning 303
machine guns of which there was a plentiful
supply in Malta, in order to reduce the weight of
the Spitfires to cope better with HMSFurious'
relatively short and ramped flight deck.
Following the second unsatisfactory trial, the
decision was taken that all the Spitfires would
have to be retrofitted with de Havilland
Hydromatic propellers, which would endow the
Spitfires with greater acceleration along the
deck and a much better initial rate of climb once
airborne. The necessary action was put in hand
immediately as following the trial that had
taken place at 17:00 hrs, a number oftelephone
calls were made, which led to a telegram being
sent from the Air Ministry to the MAP. HQ 41
