"Second screenshot is awesome" ......so is the first one, interesting to note the RAF style roundels .
Great work JK.

[jankees]

I think it is painted as a Norwegian plane flying with the RAF...
The city is Trondheim

It is excellent work, JK.
As to the roundels, I remember following a discussion years ago, about the meaning of the yellow outer ring.
What was the yellow ring for? - Oh, that was for squadrons from Allied countries.
So what did the broad yellow ring mean? - Oh, that was for Commonwealth squadrons...and then the whole thing degenerated into civil war leaving no-one any the wiser.
ATB, and thanks for all your work

"The Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) was established by a royal decree on 1 November 1944, thereby merging the Army and Navy air forces. No. 331 (Norwegian) Squadron defended London from 1941 and was the highest scoring fighter squadron in South England during the war."

Up until 8 May 1945, 335 persons had lost their lives while taking part in the efforts of the RNoAF. (wiki)
