Special tail

Post by Andypandy » Tue Apr 08, 2014 11:45 am

Anyone seen the centenary paint job yet?
Caught a glance earlier outside 6 sqn. Not very pretty was my first thought.

Think it would've maybe looked slightly better if the entire aircraft was painted in this scheme? Maybe too big a job or too expensive? Still, not the worst paint job and good to see them celebrating the centenary. Cheers, B.

After seeing it in the flesh when on the ground and in the air, it looks great on the ground, but it really looks stunning in the air!!!!!!!
