Whilst searching the web for references and photos of the RR Kestrel engine, I came across the attached "photo" of Demons of 23 Sqdn. The original picture was in negative format so I pushed it through Photoshop and, to my surprise, the resultant image appears to show the Units aircraft with white (?) upper surfaces on the rear fuselage and fin. The name of the CO in the caption, S/L H.G. Crowe M.C., puts the date of the photo to between Feb '33 and Sept '35 around the time that 23 Squadron first formed on Demons.
I have checked all my references and can find no information as to why the aircraft should be so painted. However, I also have a suspicion, from the signature bottom left, that it may be an extremely good painting.
Comments please.
