Hi,
Before the Northrop N-3PB’s were transported to Iceland they were used to train Norwegian air crews in California. I’ve seen a number of photos and I’m trying to confirm the colour scheme.
It looks like Olive Drab over Neutral Grey with possibly yellow numbers. They also had the red/white/blue/white/red Norwegian stripes on the wing and lower part of the rudder.
Can anyone confirm these colours?
Also does anyone know when they were repainted RAF grey/green? Before or after they arrived in Iceland.
Thanks,
Alex
