When was she painted as I have a postcard of her with RR299 both in camo?

I believe it was done at Leavesden sometime between May and September 1986.

Enjoyed the history and pics of VH-SNB which has been resident up here in Scotland for the past 40 years. Lots of other great photos too. Thanks for posting 🙂

Black Spout and dam at Pitlochry

Bit of rain up here in Scotland in recent weeks ( just for a change lol). Photos taken in Pitlochry where the dam was in full flow. Walking across it we could really feel the force of the water being churned through yet the loch on the other side was calm as a millpond.

We then walked/climbed up to the wonderfully named Black Spout waterfall. A bit tricky to find at first but well worth the walk.

it would be nice to see her finished in a civil scheme say overall silver with deep red markings.

In civil markings at Perth in the early 60s –
