Aircraft painting and markings AP

Can anyone point me in the direction of a pdf copy of the aircraft surface finishes and markings AP?  I believe it was AP 119A or later AP 2656A.

I’m hoping there will be info within on paint schemes and markings for types like Hunter, Lightning, Wessex etc. If this isn’t the AP I’m after, I’d appreciate a pointer in the right direction.

Thanks!

DAP119A-0601 is still in use today, the ‘D’ stands for digital.

The RAF Museum and the National Archives hold a various copies of AP 2656A. There are a couple of copies of AP 119A held by the Aerospace Bristol archives.

Thanks, that confirms I’m at least looking for the right thing. Four minutes too – impressive!

The DAP119A-0601 series covers generic UK military aircraft markings. Specific schemes for aircraft types will be in that aircraft’s Topic 6 repair manual.
