Southern Rhodesian Air Force

The Southern Rhodesian Airforce was established in 1947 and initially used the (British) Royal Air Force (RAF) ensign.  Its three squadrons were disbanded after World War II.

Between 1947 and 1953 the Southern Rhodesia Air Force markings were based on standard British national markings. Green/yellow/green bars were added each side of the fuselage roundel.  Some aircraft also had the bars added to the wing roundels, with the bars aligned spanwise (see http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/waf/aa-africa/zim/zim-af-nat-markings.htm).

Fin flash was RAF type A.
