Well, I thought I’d seen two of the BBMF fighters (we were walking on RAF Holbeach) at about 3.30pm on Sunday – in that area it seemed logical. I thought one each of Spitfire and Hurricane, but they were at a distance and angle where, even using a big lens as a monocular, I couldn’t be 100%. The lead one appeared to have a white/pale rudder.
However, looking at Flypast this morning, the latest Sea Fury was test-flown with primer-painted control surfaces – but was supposed to heading to Yeovilton for the completion of its paint scheme. And none of the BBMF aircraft have a pale rudder. :confused::confused:
Any offers on what I actually saw?

(oh, think I saw the DC3 as well
Hello Adrian,
I see from BBMF website that Dakota, Spitfire and Hurricane were listed for Marham…amongst other venues..
That would see them through the Kings Lynn then Holbeach area when RTB Coningsby.;)..
One Spitfire is now in a silver scheme….could that solve the pale mystery..??
