Flight sergeant to squadron commander in less than one year: "meteoric" even by wartime standards. It even says so in his DFC recommendation!

My father was a Servicing Commando on 609 West Riding Squadron, One of I believe 17 Typhoon Squadrons were operated by the RAF and assigned to 2 TAF at the time. I believe there were three Canadian and two New Zealand squadrons.

The cam would be effectively invisible beyond 500 m, although the D-Day stripes might show up further away. Small cam patterns don't achieve much ... Mog?
In its day camouflage was intended as a disruptive pattern when viewed from above against a brown/green natural background. Can't see many airshow spectators having that problem.

Boo, hiss.
People complain when the RAF don’t do special paint schemes and then they complain when they do. It seems they can’t win.
I think it looks great.

In my experience (a long time ago!) most aircraft further away than a mile or so, are simply a silhouette. The best example of close-in camouflage being valuable that I came across was RCAF F18s that had dummy cockpits painted underneath. That could give a very confusing picture.
