David Womby Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I know early in their life they sometimes had EDSG wing tanks and that later they and the centreline tanks were all over white but some pics seem to show 767 and 892 FG1s with EDSG centreline tanks.

David Yes :- During their Service life the Fletchers could be and were, any of the then current colours, FAA, RAF plus a mixture of both. C/L tanks were later resprayed either white or LAG, mostly the former, as they were used at Leuchars by all three Units as were the Fletchers. Many EDSG Fletchers were left behind at Leuchers when 892 disbanded and were utilised by the 43 and 111Sqns usually without repainting :- The port tank was an ex-USAF tank - not re-painted.
