WHAT DIAMETER WAS THE RAF TYPE D ROUNDAL FOR DH82A TIGER MOTH FUSELAGE

The RAF Type D roundel on a DH.82A Tiger Moth fuselage was typically 56 inches in diameter for standard wartime RAF marking practice, with the common fuselage placement using the larger roundel size rather than the later, smaller styles.

A couple of caveats matter here:

• Tiger Moth marking sizes varied by period, squadron, and repaint scheme.
• Some aircraft show 28-inch or other smaller styles in photos or restorations, especially on later or nonstandard finishes.

If you want the exact size for a specific airframe or timeframe, the serial number or photo evidence usually pins it down better than the type alone.
