Does anybody know if the Varsity was repainted.
I saw it in August 2013 on a visit to Classic Air Force and it was white with a red horizontal stripe.
I thought I saw it last week at Newquay (from the terminal) and it looked to have been repainted without red stripe.
Can anybody confirm?

Or identify the aircraft visible from the terminal/west car park.

Pretty sure it's now silver with a yellow band.

Correct, it was painted late last year. :)

Thanks

All I could see was the top of the fuselage and the tail and it appeared to be in the same markings as the Anson.

Thanks for confirming.
