AaronKSJ Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Out of curiosity, does anyone know in which year did this plane got this markings? I know it says 84, just wondering if it had them earlier in 1983? I'm getting ahead of myself and thinking about the "year you were born" GB later this year 😁 Edit: Scratch that question, just found the info on the Airfix website. " She is presented here in a two tone air superiority grey colour scheme and sports rather unusual sharks mouth and eyes markings, which were applied to three 5 Squadron Lightnings during a detachment to an Armament Practice Camp in Cyprus during September 1984."
