Ah, busted!! 😉 Actually I noticed this in summer 2004, and when we checked with a ruler it turns out the centre red dot on the starboard side is a whole 2″ bigger diameter than the port! Don’t blame RNHF, though – they didn’t paint it!

So well done everyone! Good to see you’re paying attention! 😀 Don’t worry, when she gets refinished (no, there aren’t any plans as yet) it will be corrected.

Well, ya can’t have it all ways, I ‘spose! 😀

Yes, thankfully I know the current owner (via a friend) and I’m hopefully going for a look around the old tower and airfield this coming week to get some photos before anything happens to it.

Thanks Damien.

Bruce – from the depths of my memory wasn’t the spinner on WP790 originally Pat Fillingham’s from an entry into the King’s Cup Air Race? Seem to recall Dave H mentioning that once upon a time when he was explaining about carrying out the first restoration during the 1970s. Or it may have been on it originally but subsequently robbed for a flyer (which I also remember him telling me about).

Glad to see she’s going back in her Birmingham UAS scheme and that the temptation to go for more run-of-the-mill colours was resisted! 🙂

First photo I ever took of a Chipmunk, a very damp and murky BAe Hatfield open day in 1983. Not into collecting aircraft numbers, hence, I’ve no idea of the aircraft’s serial.

Looks like WP790 to me (Mosquito Aircraft Museum, as was). See Bruce’s earlier post with pic of her ‘nude’.
