Can anyone help me with the photos of this aircraft?Thanks in advance Dom Hi Dom, I did this A/C a year or so ago . I can tell you it had a red spinner as per DAF -Info from Flt Clarke who's regular A/C it was . The use of punction marks instead of individual A/C letters lasted approx 2 weeks before the powers that be instructed Clarke to use letters on the flights A/C. As for photo's I'll have to have a look . Cheers Terry McGrady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominikS Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 OK, I'm waiting for the photos of the original a/c. But I have one more question as I've started painting small parts - what was the colour of the wheels ribs? According to Tally Ho! it was blue as the spinner? But after your information that the spinner was red I think that it could be either red or azure blue. Which version is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
