SEAC white theatre bands - date of introduction?

[wwrsimon]

Hello everyone

I have what I hope is a simple question - when were the white theatre bands introduced on SEAC RAF aircraft? I understand it was introduced in early 1945, but is this right?

Regards

Hi Simon

They appear to have been introduced for Thunderbolts in Dec 1944 and then for all aircraft except night fighters and 4-engined aircraft from 1 Feb 1845.

Malcolm,
Was that a quarter-to-seven Local Time, or GMT? LOL.

Hello Peter,

With Rebekah Brooks revealing the PM signed off his text messages LOL, had you better be careful with its use as there is no telling where this might end ?

In jest,
