Love the underside shot of 474, not that I have anything against the others as they are all good
By: Peter - 22nd September 2003 at 02:48
Thanks Jorgo
Can you give me a bit more in fo on when they were taken and where specifically the one of the startup of 474 and the other 474 pic?
By: Jorgo - 21st September 2003 at 21:39
Ahhh… a glorious sight.
By: Jorgo - 21st September 2003 at 21:26
Glad you enjoy them Lancman.
Peter, please feel free to use these on your website if of any use.

This is off the top of my head, but I believe a glossy finish is actually correct for the higher altitude, PR blue Spits isn’t it?
But otherwise, I think that all BBMF machines will be going into a satin finish, if they haven’t already. Even after a few years wear, I still think this is the best looking scheme that ‘474 has worn.
Now, about that ‘S-Sugar’ paint scheme… 😉 Seriously though, imagine the mutual publicity for Hendon and the BBMF, if ‘474 were to be painted as the legendary ‘Sugar’. 😀

Great pics!!!!
Your right Lancman, That new paint sure does make the aircraft look authentic! Will all of the fighters be repainted in it like the lanc is??
By: Bluebird Mike - 21st September 2003 at 12:50
All very nice, thank you!
Hurrah for satin paint!
They’d better splash some over that fuselage joint sealing tape though…

and for a different paint scheme…
By: Jorgo - 21st September 2003 at 11:23
and of course a Spitfire.
By: Jorgo - 21st September 2003 at 11:21
