Default Hellcat Mk I - NICE ! ! !

Wasn't the Hellcat known as the Martlet or some such when used by the poms?
I think the FAA (Fleet Air Arm of the RN) called them that. Dunno if the
RAF operated them.

As this pic is of a model in British markings, should we not refer to it as
a Martlett then?

A Hellcat with DDay invasion stripes? What
Hellcats were flying in the ETO?
