Thanks for that series. I'm trying to identify a similar aircraft that I
photographed some years ago. It's very similar to the L-4, although
there are differences to the engine and the cockpit area - that apart
they are clearly related.
Incidentally, the very small yellow writing on the engine cowling says:
"Douglas Bader Wing" underneath which is the badge and initials CAF of
the Confederate (now Commemorative) Air Force. I can't trace the
aircraft on their website, however, nor does there seem to be any
mention of a "Douglas Bader Wing".
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi
A Google search for "115302 aircraft" brings up UKWarbirds.net as a
possibility which has a L18C Super Cub (PA18-95) registration 115302/G-BJTP,
the owner is given as John Parkins and the location as Pershore
Worcestershire England.
There is also a photo or four on Airliners.net which give a construction
number of 18-999 and one says it is 'Resplendent in a US Marines colour
scheme. Previously registered EI-51, I-EICO, MM51-15302 (Italian Army) and
51-15302(US Military Series)' and another says fake US Marines markings.
Hope this helps and doesn't just restate what you already know.
