leyreynolds Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Light Green/Light Earth uppers on Lancasters post-war? Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 No. It was seen on a few Grand Slam aircraft used for trials, but never standardised. The most common postwar scheme was the Tiger Force colours of white over Night, but at some stage this became Medium Sea Grey over Night. Please treat this as a guide rather than absolute ruling - not not LG/LE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The Medium Sea Grey and Black scheme was only apparently only applied to a few Lancasters at the end of their service as bombers. There is a very useful book by Martin Derry, 'The Avro Lancaster, Lincoln and York in Post War RAF service 1945-1950', that tells the story of the post war Lancs. I think what happened was that there were so many new Lancs around that most units that survived disbandment received newer aircraft and most of the aircraft in TLS disappeared quite quickly.
