Max Headroom Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've a feeling that I know the answer already but................. I have the PM Sea Fury TT.20 which is rapidly (for me anyway) nearing the painting stage and at present intend to finish it like this http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...DN%26start%3D18 (check out the other photos on the site!) However, before I commit paint to plastic, can anyone confirm that the only EDSG/Sky TT.20's are warbirds like the Fleet Air Arm Historic Flight's new example? http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...sa%3DN%26um%3D1 This is quite an attractive scheme and if 'real' would be tempted by that instead (however those patches of zinc chromate primer might be interesting?). Over to you gang! Regards Optimal Cranial Clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 NO EDSG/Sky ones that I'm aware of, however there was a red one in RAF markings - whne the Germans gifted VZ345 to the UK, it was flown to Boscombe bearing the red scheme but British roundels and serials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The standard scheme for T20s was overall High Speed Silver with yellow trainer bands. I have never seen an authentic period photo of a T20 in EDSG/Sky. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen an authentic period photo of a T20 in EDSG/Sky.Martin That may back up my mother's recollection of "some silver or light grey Furies, nothing like as dark as your dad's". She had absolutely no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned two seats. On another occasion she did correctly recall yellow wheel wells, so she is not the worst witness considering she was more interested in the pilot than the aeroplane! Time can play havoc with memory. When I took her to see a RNHF Fury she was staggered at how big it was, yet she had seen similar aircraft nearly every day for months at a time fifty years ago,maybe not so close up.

It would make a very different looking T20. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I`ve never seen a red ex German Sea Fury T.10 in British roundels however there was one finished in overall RAF Blue Grey with a Red cowling and spinner which I think flew for Ferranti? There is a photo somewhere of it and it has featured as side view artwork in books such as the Warpaint. Hope this helps...sorry I cannot furnish any for info yet, but I`ve no acess to my books at the moment! Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
