Aircraft that were impressed are covered I guess by the East Fortune Cygnet ..

It seems the Cygnet was first registered on July 2nd 1941 and went straight into a camouflage scheme but carrying its civil registration and was delivered to 23 Sqn at Ford. The date I have for its impressment as ES915 is August 16th that same year when it went to 51 OTU. It doesn’t seem to have carried a civil scheme (and a beautiful one it was!) till post-war. Does the camouflage and civil reg scheme therefore count as impressment colours? I don’t know – it’s too confusing for me! 🙂
