dark light

Comper Swift G-ABUA

Can any one tell me how and in which colors this aeroplane was painted?
Drawings and pictures which show how this was would be of any help.
Thanks
Jan

This Swift is mentioned in Richard Riding’s book Ultralights including a photo. It eventually ended up in the Dutch East Indies with a 20 cm longer nose. I suspect the Dutch interest might be where Jan started.

The Riding photo shows it with a very light overall finish (Silver?) with fuselage and fin trim in a relatively light colour and outlined with a darker line and a dark (Black?) registration, and wheel spats.

AJ has a couple of photos but probably b/w.
