Default Spitpics : Robert Stanford-Tuck's Spitfire after being shot down 28th Jan '42

Initials for plane codes on the rides of Wing Commanders was a comon
perk alowed by the RAF. Remember Bader's code?

Robert Stanford Tuck was my boyhood hero (this is some while ago, you

I never realised before that his aircraft carried his initials. That
must have made him something of a target for those who were gunning
for him. Like Adolph Galland, for example.

Just musing ...
