DAS does what it can with the volunteer human resources it has at its disposal – mostly retirees. It is not the IWM. The red on the Trident wings and the BEA logos on fin and stairs were refreshed last year, as were the intake blanks. The ally was polished on the wings.
Last spring hundreds of pounds were spent on her professional washing and that will be done again this spring if budget is approved. This removes the algae buildup and last summer the white upper surface looked pretty good.
The Viscount did however look rather nice in the sun today after the rain finally stopped.

1995 I would guess. I think the scheme is for the TV series Over Here.
I have it recorded as Blue 8 around October 1995 as per picture below.
