This week the RAF Museum Cosford opened the doors to its Michael Beetham Conservation Centre where the Wellington is currently being restored. Gareth Stringer went along for Global Aviation Resource to see the progress as well as interview Ronald Cooper – former Bomber Command Wellington pilot.

If the story is to be believed, the unpopular training scheme idea has been knocked on the head.
I do hope so. The Czech scheme gets my vote.

Well they haven’t removed the front turret yet..

IIRC the last time this was discussed here, it was suggested that a wartime OTU scheme would be ideal, as it would both honour the individual history of this a/c in training, but also present the type in its most important configuration/role as a bomber.

Its either something like this or airframe silver and yellow training bands.
I’d vote for the Czech scheme, it tells a better story

Sounds like pure speculation/whish-list thinking to me. I thought the original scheme of silver with yellow training bands had been mentioned by the RAFM at one point.

I do hope that is true. It certainly gets my vote as Czech, French and Polish units are currently not well represented in preserved airframes.
