Fairey Firefly Mk.5 cockpit colours

Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone.  I’m sure I’ve got the right era because so far as I know, this Mark of the Firefly first flew in 1947.  Sorry if I’m wrong!

 

Anyway, I’m trying to pin down definitive colours for the two cockpits.  Internet searches suggest that the front one might be all black, or aircraft grey/green, and the rear is the same ... and/or the two cockpits might or might not be the same colour in the same aircraft!

 

I’m confused (easily done these days!)  so I’m asking if anyone here can offer guidance.  

 

Thanks in hope,

 

Jonny

What Mark?

Of the 4 I've worked on the Mark 5 had black in both pits and the 6's were black up the front

and green down the back

I identified the Mark in the ‘subject’, but I’m talking of the Mark 5!

 

Thanks, though
