442 Sqdn RCAF

442 Sqdn RCAF
Two Mustangs, revelling in the peaceful conditions at high altitude, recovering to their base at the tail end of WW2. By this time, March 1945, almost total air superiority had been achieved by the Allied forces and the need for any degree of camouflage had been dispensed with - hence the very individual colour schemes.
These Canadian Mustangs are from 442 RCAF Squadron based at RAF Hunsdon, only a few miles south of Duxford.
