These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show a Republic P-47D-40-RA Thunderbolt, displayed as KL216/RS-L of No. 30 Squadron RAF in South East Asia Command colours — the dark earth and dark green camouflage with the distinctive white recognition markings on cowl, wings and tail introduced to avoid confusion with Japanese aircraft, which explains the absence of red from the RAF roundels. The Thunderbolt was the heaviest single-engine fighter of the war, powered by a massive Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine, and proved ideal for the Burma campaign where its long range, heavy gun armament and bomb-carrying capacity made it a devastating ground attack aircraft against Japanese troop concentrations and supply lines. The RAF used the Thunderbolt exclusively in South East Asia, never in Europe. The aircraft on display never served with the RAF. Built at Evansville, Indiana in June 1945 as USAAF serial 45-49295, it arrived too late for the war and spent years in storage before being transferred to Yugoslavia under the Mutual Assistance Pact in 1952, where it served as Yugoslav Air Force serial 13064 until around 1959. Acquired by warbird collector Doug Arnold for his Warbirds of Great Britain collection at Blackbushe, it was exchanged with the RAF Museum for a Spitfire and restored to static display standard at RAF Cosford and Duxford before going on display at Hendon in 2004 in the markings of No. 30 Squadron.
