Historical accuracy is doubtful, originally converted (with obligatory pull my finger pose) to lead my RAF regiment detachment, he's only just been upgraded to painted because my attention wanders a lot. I'm still not happy with the colour of the hat, but this was the third attempt and so gave up, it doesn't heklp that the photo seems to have washed the shades out of it.
I hope this helps and cracking painting, Sir!
A few ex-2 TAF old boys of my acquaintance also mentioned arriving in Normandy in blue BD, though quickly switched to khaki when it was rumoured that RAF erks were being shot by mistake (the blue-grey being mistaken for field grey)! God knows what the truth of this was, but one chap I escorted to the 65th anniversary in 2009 was adamant that he was personally shot at by an over-keen Army guard near Ryes tactical airfield (just outside Bayeux).
