MODeller Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 There are some colour pics in Aircraft of the SAAF by Potgieter/Steenkamp published by Janes 1981 ISBN0710601174. Strange that the same A\c is blue in one shot and looks green in another! MODeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV107 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not sure how easy it'd be to get, but: Canberra - In Southern African Service - by M Hamence & W Brent , IBSN 0 958 38804 0 Might be interesting, apparently has about two dozen colour photos in it. If the captioning is correct, then this: http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0927...o_comments=hide could well be one of the SAAF B(I)12s delivered to Peru after they were retired from use in SA.

Vlamgat9 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Basically there were 3 schemes. The Canberras were all delivered in High Speed Silver with castle roundels. Some of the BI(12)s then had a composite silver upper fuselage and PRU lower fuselage with no castles - this is one of the schemes on the Model Alliance sheet. Subsequently they were all painted overall PRU blue. With castles originally but the castles were left off subsequently. Some pics I took of the T4/B2 at the SAAF musem are set out below. This scheme was also applied to the BI(12)s. Edited April 8, 2008 by Vlamgat9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
