Cpl. Douglas Curtis 88 Sqd. My father, Corporal Douggie Curtis, was posted to 88Sqn sometime at the end of 1943, at Hartford Bridge, Hants. He was a ground engineer (airframes), and helped convert the aircraft for the smoke laying mission on D-Day. He always told me that the pipes and fittings were standard plumbers fittings. He also told me that the invasion markings were hand painted, so that when you see photos they look a bit ragged. Also the white noses marked the Bostons as smoke layers.
