Remind me, which RAF squadron operated the tundra wheel Piper Cub?

I think it was in that paint to show the paint and variant, you can actually have it on wheels, tundra tires, skis, or floats. :)

I do know that the RAF had Ski kits delivered. Dunno about floats and tundra tires didn't come until later (but I wouldn't put it past some Bush Pilot to paint one in RAF colors with tires). :)

Actually , there were apparently Piper Cubs painted in RAF colours as part of a fund raising scheme for the RAF Benevolent Fund. The details are on this link.

In fact there is an appropriate repaint for Bill Lyons Piper Cub lurking somewhere on the web that I should have remembered, 'cos I downloaded it once!

Being for FS2004, of course it has left me up the creek without a paddle. :doh:

As the RAF contracts to the smallest flying establishment ever, maybe we should see if we could buy up any that are still about. 8)
