Ohh, and by the way, the tail is not black but actually a dark blue on Northumbria UAS Chipmunks!

Many thanks for clarifying that Phantom Phil, they always looked ‘black’, but part of me kept saying ‘no it’s a very dark blue’. I’ve worried about that for 40 years! 🙂

Also, just for the record (and since I posted those Ouston photos), the wingtips were also painted the same very dark blue.
