light blue? i thought that they were white! You live and learn. Was there any reason for blue?
A lot of Red White Blue roundels were modified locally by painting out the red dot with White, but this was a local expediency. The colours should have been Light Blue and Dark Blue but as is so often the case with Military markings , what should have happened, didn't always happen.

If you read the RAF's official reason the text says Blue and white was used but their illustration is of Light Blue/ Dark Blue Roundel

That is correct, it was also the reason why RAF & RAAF aircraft in the Pacific Theatre had only blue and white roundels.
It is the reason the Far East Command of the RAF used Dark Blue and Light Blue Roundel.

P-51B/C with the malcom hood.
If you look at the P-51 above the bonnet of the car you can see the fuselage at the rear is not level with the engines line.
A D model would look like a straight line from engine to the rudder fillet with a slight bump just to the rear of the canopy.
Here is a D model at roughly the same angle. Note the top line is almost straight.
Lastly, note in the original picture there is no fillet at the transition of the fuselage to the rudder. That alone is a defining characteristic of the D model.... as well as the canopy.
I was gonna say that but I thought I was being picky....

Maybe, but Steve guest gave me some studs when two of my Antar studs sheared, they were 1" , I thought he said they were constructor, but He did have a Contractor for a while.....

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the reactors were removed in service because operators were exceeding recommended loading, that they were so increasing Militant front Axle loadings that the power steering was failing on a regular basis.

The Chassis was completely overloaded as it was, I cannot see there was any spare capacity to fit anything else. The Mk3 definitely had the Donaldson reactor and my June 1970 manual does not mention the Donaldson reactor by name. I assume that the Back actor it refers to is the Donaldon reactor, since it would make sense to say in a manual that a device that was known was on the way would be covered by a later amendment and that it would be made clear that instructions would be issued.
What I am trying to say is the Donaldson was fitted and is not referred to in the manual unless it is by reference to the Back actor. It would be sensible to assume that the Donaldson Reactor would have a reference in the manual, and the only reference can be to the back actor to be covered by a later addition.
-
They were definitely fitted to some Mk3 Millys but I can't say for certain that they either all had the reactor fitted or kept them for all their service life.
-
Also called Donaldson reactor, there has been a thread on here about them.
-
Antar and 30T constructor are 1" but I must say I thought Milly's were 7/8". Just saying what the manual says, and as we know manuals are not always reliable....
-
A k3 Militant should have 1" wheel studs according to the user manual.

The points you quote are (as far as I know) all correct; but to me your post misses the point.
I'm proud to be English (and British). As a country we need a figurehead, but ultimately thats all it is is - a figurehead.
St George happens to be that figurehead.
So every year I will raise my glass partly to St George, but more than that, to England.
I respect your viewpoint Mike, but I will never agree with it.
I just wish to point out that St George's flag was not the Flag of England but rather historically is the flag of the Kingdom of England.
The Kingdom of England was, from 927 to 1707, a sovereign state to the northwest of continental Europe. At its height, the Kingdom of England spanned the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain (including both modern-day England and Wales) and several smaller outlying islands; what today comprises the legal jurisdiction of England and Wales.
So for those who feel proud to be English and see the St Georges flag as England's Flag, remember until 1959 it was Wales' Flag also so within the Union Flag, The red Cross on a white background was both the Flag for England and also the Flag for Wales.......
So if you think the Red Cross represents you as the English nation, remember it has been representative of the Welsh Nation also....

The one thing that they can NEVER take from me on St.Georges day is:
Roast Beef & Tatties! Lashings of Horseradish too! :-D
In Bulgaria, they also celebrate St Georges day but Roast Lamb is the tradition there!
(and there, St Georges day is the 6th of May, where he is their Patron Saint for Shepherds)
