[Troy Smith]

Just ran across this auction on ebay,

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283554850346

Nothing to do with me, adding link so you can save the images.  

 

Air Britain

P3835 - 245/315/303 To 2694M, 29.9.41

 

what is clear from the photos is use originally of the bright pre war blue, less clear is the red.  The original yellow ring also look brighter, but that maybe just as the top layer is discoloured. 

 

 

note how the A1 has been made into a non standard C1, with a smaller red centre spot, as the blue inner ring has not changed position.  Here's the post war reference shot as a instructional airframe.

 

 

 

more pics in the link,  get right clicking.   the 'wing fabric' is an oddity, VT-ASM, with what look like an Australian or SEAC roundel.

 

one for @Magpie22?  though VT seems to Indian civil registration?

I'll @tonyot  as he may have an idea. 

 

give a brief stay with 315 and 303 sq,  perhaps worth noting for the Arma hobby folks, @GrzeM @Wojtek Bulhak also @Jerzy Janaszewski

 

Made my day, even though it has greatly distracted me doing this.... 

 

cheers

I agree with Bob. Also, the C/N shows she was built in the UK - no Australian connection.

Thanks for the pics and the link Troy.
