Tutor special / trails colour schemes and where is G-BYXD?

Post by BP2324 » Sat Jan 13, 2024 6:17 pm

Hi, I want to update my records do the following still have spcl schemes or are they back as standard white:

G-BYUE (MOS St Athan) used to be Blue/Black
G-BYXG (Boscombe) used to be deep blue
G-BYXH (Wittering) yellow / black in 2022

and finally anyone know the location / status of G-BYXD as I cant tie it up.

Thanks in advance.
Brian

BYUE arrived Norwich May/2022 for repainting into standard colours
BYXG I'm not sure about
BYXH was still yellow in Sep/2023

BYXD was possibly WFU at St Athan in 2022

Just to clarify, due to costs, only one aircraft was actually repainted, G-BYXH into the yellow/black scheme.

G-BYUE & G-BYXG had vinyl coloured stickering applied then later removed on completion of the trial at the paint finishing facility at Norwich.

Can’t assist with location of G-BYXD.

According to South Wales Aviation Group blog

https://cardiffstathan.blogspot.com/sea ... nts%202021

G-BYXD departed St Athan to Yeovilton on 5th July 2021
