Agreed, the colouring of the roundels are incorrect for both RAF and IAF, but as the picture is a drawing it looks as though the artist got carried away by substituting red for orange and blue for green.

RiŠardo Thanks for that very interesting link. I had always just assumed these aircraft were sold to India by UK, but apparently not so. Regards Syke

Interesting article and some great pictures. Hard to imagine equipping your air force heavy bomber squadrons with airplanes off the scrap heap, but all the more power to them! Yes indeed.
