Nice photo but tells nothing of Who, What, Where, When, and Why?
what does the Wildcat with the D-Day marks ????

Those "D-Day marks", specifically the invasion stripes, are authentic. Great Britain used the Grumman Wildcat in WWII.

A nice tribute.
I think the 17 may have been used for fire suppression in california and was flown to Great britain in the mid 70s in trade for a Vulcan for a museum here in the States. A neighbor who had been a wing commander in the RAF made the trip.
