The knowledge and expertise is there with IWM, but I doubt those people were consulted. It’s possible the people asked to paint it were expected to know what they were doing, but clearly specs weren’t asked for or given.

If it’s one solid colour (a la Hendon) simply to show shape and size, it doesn’t matter.
If it’s privately owned, it doesn’t matter (or matters less).
If it belongs to a national *war* museum and is displayed in its name, then it does matter.

Granted, but someone hasn’t exactly tried their hardest with this effort, have they? I understand it wasn’t done by IWM or DAS’s teams.

Hell’s bells. That looks like a one-way ticket to next year’s “Darwin Awards”.

Apart from the fact that these ‘wartime’ roundels would have been applied in a peacetime factory :rolleyes:

And I suppose no mistakes were made in peacetime? And that these aircraft weren’t subsequently repainted once taken on charge? Perhaps even in the field (i.e. Korea)? My point was that there’s enough “reasonable doubt” to let a private owner “get away” with one slightly out-of-size roundel until the next flaming repaint at least.

Smoke Brendan a kipper, he’ll be back for breakfast.

I like your definition of the South West. But, that’s up to but *excluding* Bridgwater, I presume? Or the Town of the Living Dead, as I knew it.

Plastic, yes (well, GRP), hung, no. It’s a marketing tool for which DX have big plans.

I can beat this (I think). I ordered a copy of Strike Fighters, a PC flight sim/game, and what should arrive (on a disc marked Strike Fighters, in the correct DVD case)?

…”Remembering Fred Dibnah” on DVD.

Nothing against the memory of Britain’s favourite television steeplejack, but I had to admit to a certain amount of disappointment and confusion over that one.
