Andover C1 and CC2

Hi all

Found this advert in an old magazine. It shows a C1 in “classic” Transport Command colours but they were in cammo when in service. Was there ever one in the “classic” colour scheme and if so any photos available? Also did the CC2 ever carry the “Royal Air Force Transport Command” marking?

Cheers

Frank

CC.2 XS794 wore RAF Transport Command titles from delivery until 1st Sept.1967 when operated by the Metropolitan Comms Sqn. at Northolt.

Not sure who XS637 was with in the mid 80s (32 Squadron?) but she carried a fairly unique interpretation of the ‘classic’ scheme

At least one (32 Squadron) aircraft also carried the low-viz light grey with pale blue cheatline scheme,

and one with 51 Squadron carried the European tactical scheme.

But to answer the original question, the C1s enetered service with the desert camo scheme

The ones with 60sqn at Wildenrath had the ‘classic’ colour scheme, but (obviously) didn’t have Transport Command markings.
