I’m sure it has already been said earlier in this group but what was the first aircraft to wear the shark mouth nose art?

I delivered to RAF Odiham today, I saw the Chinook gate guard outside, inside I saw the Whirlwind XR453 and watched a brilliant flying display from one of the bases Chinooks! :applause:

Today I passed The Pheasant pub a couple of miles from the site of RAF Membury, was this pub an airmen’s refuge?

Anybody know of any pubs in Amesbury (Boscombe Down)?

At least the navy still fly them.
On Monday whilst in Gosport I saw a grey and red Sea King flying followed shortly after by an all over grey ‘King, today whilst driving on the A32 I spotted an Arctic camo Sea King gate guard at the Defence Munitions Gosport camp.

It’s nice they’ve not completely disappeared yet! 😀

Excellent news, let’s hope it retains a camo scheme.

I was hoping for the GW1 desert pink.

Admittedly not a complete Spitfire but the original main wheel from the only aircraft to have fought in the Battle of Britain still flying P3750, on display at the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection, Old Sarum airfield.[ATTACH=CONFIG]244524[/ATTACH]

Why were WW2 aircraft’s undersides painted in the 50/50 black white scheme?
