    Another obscure query coming up; this definitely qualifies as oddball. No. 84 Squadron when serving in the Middle East involved a series of markings which included swastikas and the other strange symbols. I'm trying to find out what these were for the Vickers Vincents. The swastikas survived and there was a triangle in a square as well. These I believe represent B flight and C flight respectively but I don't have anything clear on A flight. Does anyone have any reference or information which will point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance

    This sounds very interesting, Christopher @christopher.
    Unfortunately I cannot help you in this due to lack of knowledge on this topic.
    Looking forward to this subject though.

    Count me also in for being unable to help, my friend @christopher. My net research did not reveal anything...
    Looking forward to yet another superb project!

    Thanks for looking Spiros (@fiveten) and for the faith in my efforts. Here are a couple of photos showing the type of marking I mean (under the pilots cockpit).
