Nice detail shots, thanks - though this particular aircraft annoys me intensely [not your fault!].  It’s an HAS3 with a totally spurious yellow RAF SAR scheme; the RAF never operated the Mk.3, and definitely not in the SAR role...

 

People say it doesn’t matter how museums protray aircraft, yet this mythical scheme is one of the ones offered in the Italeri HAS3 1/48 kit; this is how myths are born.

 

Rant over.

Methinks you and I need to sneak into the place one night with some masking tape and some pots of RAF Blue Grey.
