I’ve recently discovered McClelland Baclay for myself via an ‘On Target Special – Wings of the Fleet 1919 – 1941’. This book contains colour 3-views of aircraft of the period using these designs – colours being a combination of dark-blue, blue-grey, grey and the undersurfaces are usually white. The artist certainly used his background as an illustrator to come with some novel patterns. A footnote in aeronautical history perhaps, but if I had a spare £30k. and knew a friendly Spitfire owner who wanted a repaint, I’d be tempted (anybody useful with Photoshop ?)
