ok everyone, first off stringbag. Yep I’m affraid that does mean G-TIMM will almost certainly have to be repainted or atleast her ‘sparrows’ unifrom altered in such a way as to make it nonrepresentative of an origional red. I know not the fine detail of it all but the R.A.F. have been pretty specific on it as far as I can gather and XR537 will definitly been the only one allowed (in th U.K. atleast, abroad I have no idea), as all aircraft wishing to appear in military markings have to be run by the service in which markings she will appear. Firebird, yes that’d be pretty cool, but again R.A.F. decision as to whether they’ll allow it (on going theme isn’t it, why do the beauracrats have to spoil everyone’s fun). Manston, not a hope in hells chance of getting XR954 back in the air, i’ve seen inside her, she’s been totally gutted, the main fuselage structure is exfoliating terribly and the main spar has more cracks than labours election manifesto. Once she has served her purpose the plan is to put her on static exhibition in the musem, if there is enough left of her at the end of course.
Why are they not allowing Gnats to have Red arrow colors that’s stupid and only letting XR537.why is XR537 the only aircraft aloud to have red colours.
crewdog and Tim thank you for the information.
