I wish she’d stayed in Gleeds colours, best markings it’s worn IMHO. & put PZ in her original last of the many colours!

Yes she still has the four bladed prop and the six exhaust cans each side, although I believe that she will be fitted with three cans each side in the near future.:)

IMO she is more beautiful with six exhaust cans each side than three, but for historical reasons it might be better with three.

A Spit mark V with four bladed prop and twelve exhaust cans. Nothing more beautiful than that:) IMHO

Does AB910 still have a four blade prop and six exhaust stacks each side?

Although looking at the two pics, this is an earlier version of the artwork?

RF-C perhaps :diablo:

inspiration from an Airfix kit lid eh? Roy Cross’ artwork I believe – still one of the best.

shades of the RR Spitfire XIV being painted like the Frog kit – or is that apocryphal ?

Seriously – job’s a good’un – looking forward to seeing the whole airframe

Looks like P7350 to me 😉

Gosh! You are absolutely right.

Both P7350 and AB910 in identical camouflage, but not code letters, were at Middle Wallop in that July 1986 show.

20 years misfiled in my system.

I could photo-shop it, but I will remove it and retire embarrassed. 😮

I didn’t know anyone was doing a new painting of AB910! 😀
