Ritch & Max

Just been surfing the web and found this thread. Fantastic picture. Have never seen a shot of XW315 in Swords colours. Have a particular interest in it as I own the front end of it!!! Hopefully taking it to Cockpit Fest ’13. Have been rebuilding it but still a lot of work to do. If anyone has any more pictures or knows someone who flew it then PLEASE PLEASE contact me. Many thanks.
Phil. XW315

Don’t know if this is of any use?

PS – Just found this old thread on AFM discussing the same subject.

It includes a post from Mike (Foxy) – dunno if he still frequents this forum ??

Plus a bigger view of that decal sheet here.

The decal firm of ‘Modeldecal’ did a sheet covering all four aircraft, IIRC.

I remember making a model of one of the team for a neighbour who flew with them….. Flt Lt Mike Fox.

I also remember that he flew the JP5 from the right hand seat – because of his position in the formation, I think.

Also found a thread on FC forum with a couple of other shots:
