Rapide G-ALPK

First flight

The fuselage of G-ALPK was last seen outside at Netheravon c1968. I am hopefull of getting an image from the Scottish records site. Thanks again.

The scheme she wore in 1958 was White and Light Blue fuselage with a Red cheatline and I think Silver wings. Thank you for your assistance gentlemen.

and scroll down to G-ALPK

Ah, thanks wieesso, that’s more like it – though it looks reminiscent of the Rothman’s scheme, as once worn by G-AKIF and others, so has added even more to my puzzlement!

Thanks guys. Even more confused now in view of T-21’s info and I am still not being allowed to access the above link. 🙁

I recall it paying a visit to Shoreham in the 1960s when if my memory is correct it was in a green and yellow colour scheme.

Can anyone confirm if this recollection is correct and provide a photo to prove it?

There is a side colour view in Profile Publication No144 showing it wearing a overall pale blue with red trim of the Lancashire Aircraft Corporation. It was at Blackbushe in a red/white schemme awaiting scrapping in the sixties.

This might help with colour schemes http://users.skynet.be/BAMRS/dh89/dh89-en.htm

Here’s another one in a different colour scheme. The aircraft was broken up in 4/66 and was previously NF886.
