There seem to be some allusions to RAF ownership in the thread, do they own the gate guards and some of the Biggin site still?

This might answer your question. Just found it on the local paper website:

Not ’till you’ve answered this!:p

In all seriousness, I don’t know about the prop markings.

I know some, or most, of the RAF camp is owned by Bernie E and his F1 business. His jets are always there.

I’m sure the RAF Chapel is still MOD so the guards must be theirs as well.

Just one final thought. I started another thread a while ago about the markings on warbird props and was thinking why they hadn’t put these markings, of some sort, on replica’s props?

Ah! Good spot Mark 12!

I suppose the stiffeners on top of the wings are a no no as well then?

OMG you guys are good! I only spotted the roundels and the colour schemes. Not that I was looking for errors of course but the wings on the Spit just hit me smack in the face as an error.

I wasn’t going to add any more to this thread but I have just notised that there are no roundels on the underside of the wings on the Hurricane. Was this normal for Hurricanes, this Hurricane in particular, or is it a painting error? (oh god i hope it’s not the latter!)

Hurricane arrives

The Hurricane has now arrived and all looks good. Phew! And I was told that the wings on the Spitfire are going to be replaced in a couple of weeks time. So all’s well that ends well.:D:D
