<r> The depiction at the top of this thread is not quite correct (too many hexagons). The attempt to map a sphere onto flat faces is achieved most elegantly by copying buckminsterfullerene C60. The rule is that each hexagon borders three hexagons and three pentagons; that is to say, each pentagon is ...

<t> The tricolour on the tailplane is standard on all RAF aircraft. The roundels of the French airforce had the red-white-blue reversed. The roundels shown are definitely RAF style (or Dominion, of course), including the yellow which appears only on a fuselage.<br/>

Well, it is definitely not a Condor. Now I am wondering if it is a captured Japanese aircraft: the nose reminds me of a Nell.

<t> How weird. The roundels identify it as RAF, but I have never known an RAF aircraft with a belly gunner, nor with an open dorsal gun. Also, the armament is absolutely pathetic, which suggests an early-war design. And what about the strange tail?<br/>

I would say this is a captured enemy ...

Is the Free French cruiser-sub Surcouf (float-plane and 8-inch guns) included in the game?&nbsp; If so, Patrice, I would love to have its counter as my avatar.

Upon reflection, I am wondering if the P in a rectangle patch is for the Glider Pilots? 

Nope. My father never learnt to fly. The fastest he ever went was on his motorbike (a Norton).
