I'm looking for informations about callsigns used by the RAF squadrons during WWII and the complete phonetic alphabet used to call RAF bombers ( A for Apple, S for Sugar ... ) ...
Many thanks for help and Happy new year everybody !!

(There were many variations in regard to aircraft identification - one 406 Sqn RAF Beaufighter was "B- Bambi" and its nose art was that character)
The one given by Andy was used by the British Army at that time.
No idea what was "official", but my old man was in the RAF '38-'47 and I can testify with certainty that ( in his polite way ) he notified me MANY times to stop being such a stupid Sugar How Item Tare. Neil.
