NAVY870 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The spinner on the 817 squadron RAN aircraft would be light blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen several pictures of Fireflies on Sydney wearing "Korean" stripes but with dark spinners in addition to pictures with the light blue ones. Wonder if aircrafts with dark spinners were replacements or maybe 817 changed the colour of the spinner at some point ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones we bought home with us had the light blue spinners (my VX.388 included) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
