There were guides set out for serial presentation, with different sized letters (and roundels) etc used, I think it was something to do with the class of aircraft and percentage of space it took up on the fusalage. ![]() If you look and the underside with the nose in the "north" position how would the letters/numbers be orientated? Would the serial numbers be orientated the opposite way on both wings? - meaning would those on the "west" wing be right way up and the ones on the "east" wing be upside down or visa-versa?Ĭorrect on all points there, but never vice versa.īritish military serials were presented on the undersides of both wings (one written opposite way to the other) and on each side of the fusalage, and most wartime era aircraft presented their serials in this conventional manner.
