DH-88 G-ADEF, Boomerang…looking for info

Hey guys,

Anyone have any concrete details or pics of DH-88 G-ADEF / Boomerang? I think this is probably the most shortlived example…but it did have a very appealing colour scheme from what I can make out….I’d like to be able to pin down all of the scheme details before moving on with the model (Aerotech dh.88 1/32nd scale).

Thanks in advance!

I seem to remember that there is also a short film clip of the a/c during one of the record attemps in Africa. Check it out on www.britishpathe.com and search for Campbell Black.

they’ve even got a BW photo of ‘Boomerang’ on the web page.

… at $20 (Canuckistan bucks) for 1/32 scale, it sounds like a good deal.
