I stumbled up on an A-26 site earlier & it
mentioned that 130 (I
think) A-26s had been ordered by the RAF but
were later diverted to
the Navy or something. Anyway, I was wondering
if anyone's ever seen a
paint scheme for the Invader B. Mk. 1. Sand
& spinach over sky, or
what? might look pretty cool.

According to Joe Baughers web site 2 were actually
delivered
to Boscombe Down for evaluation. The production
versions were intended for the MTO and were
to replace
the Bostons of No 88 Squadron RAF as well as
those of
342 Squadron of the Free French Air Force.

The paint scheme of those Bostons is probably
the
nearest approximation to that which would have
been applied to the Invaders.

So why didn't the RAF use the A-26?
