You're Top Poster: #2  | Great link, Annie. The website layout looks familiar so I think Kyt may have posted other parts of it before relating to Indians in the RAF. Did you see the Wapiti with the reversed swastika on her nose? A good luck charm for Hindus, I think, probably completely wrong as I initially thought it was a Buddhist symbol.

You're Top Poster: #1  | Thanks for the link Annie. The more the website gets publicity the better as Jagan has done a superb job. Having said that, it is now so big that I hadn't actually seen the Wapiti page. I've never really been into biplanes (except the Glad and the 'Fish) but I have developed a soft spot for the Wapiti, just becuase of its service in the IAF, and RAF in India, especially the NWF
