Aeronut Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 XG502 is preserved in the Museum of Army Flying but is painted in the green / dark earth camouflage she carried for the Suez invasion in 1956. However if you look close enough you can still see the cheat lines of her previous scheme under the camouflage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperUK Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 May I suggest this book http://www.colourpoint.co.uk/colourpointbooks/more_details.php?id=1714 Sycamores Over Ulster, by Guy Warner and the Ulster Aviation Society, plenty of reference photos of the 118 Sqn Sycamores around 1960 operating in NI. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Question: I know very little about the Sycamore. Which variants served during the Suez invasion and the Malaya emergency? Is the 50/51 version suitable for building a Sycamore from either war? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which variants served during the Suez invasion and the Malaya emergency? Is the 50/51 version suitable for building a Sycamore from either war? Thank you very much. Mk 50 and Mk 51 Sycamore were export versions bought by the Australian Navy, only 10 in total were built, so strictly speaking no is the answer to your question. It was more likely HR 10, 11 and 12s would have been utilised in the conflicts you mention. However, the differences between the export versions and the indigenous Mks as regards a scale model are modest - I'd say subject to checking your references its very much doable. Tommo.
