Absolutely fantastic!

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to post these – would love captions when you have time.

I too would argue that these are probably the finest images ever posted on the this forum.

Errrr Mark, the first photo on the 2008 page shows what looks alarmingly like a camouflage sheep in the foreground.

Just what do you lot get up to at CockpitFest! :diablo:

For what little my opinion is worth, three of us are already laying plans to attend next year with two sea hawk cockpits – one restored, one not (yet) – and the reason for the effort is to meet up with like-minded people and hopefully put faces to the e-mail and forum names of people we’ve come to know over the years. I also understand that there might be some beer there :diablo:

Then I’d say “Alpine” is an approximation. As I say, Sky was one of the colours which was transferred across into the BS381 colour range and all references I’ve ever seen only refer to it as such.

I say Alpine because BS colour swatches were used to compare against an original panel. No other colour came even close to a match.

However, I am certainly no expert. Are there different BS ranges? I seem to recall some issues the MoD guys had with BS colours and although they used the same colours, they gave them different names.

No doubt someone around here can give us a potted history ?
