The current paint scheme is circa 1944, whether the 1940 colours have survived underneath is still unknown. Time will only allow inspection and cleaning (unless serious problems are found) before return to London.

thanks for that, it seems to have lasted well, in service was it usual to strip the paint off or did they just paint over the top?

great set, the light is so good with the snow

to me the Sea Fury looks so good with the 5 bladed prop

one thing I noticed was that in East Sheen next to Richmond Park it seemed that most of the bombs were dropped on open spaces,

makes me wonder what instructions were given about bombing the suburbs,

when you look at the map, Richmond Park got it’s fair share but much smaller open spaces were peppered with bombs even cemeterys weren’t exempt

After seeing the “Ju52” in the snow, I’ve got a sudden urge to watch ‘Where Eagles Dare’!!

snap, I had the same thought!!!
