Spitfire over Bedford

[z06tim]

I saw that Spitfire (TE311) do a flypast at Cosford on Saturday.

Anyone explain what is going on with the colour scheme on her? Not one i recognise and can't find any info on the BBMF website, or elsewhere.

Looks like the primer undercoat before a new paint scheme is applied.

Being near Biggin Hill and being a chronic dog walker I see one most days. Bloody things, v12 always droning away making me thinking it is something more interesting.

Now if a focke wulf FW190. That would be epic.....

I'm pretty sure that everything you posted above is against the law, in contravention of the Ts&Cs on your birth certificate and possibly also the Geneva convention.

That's what it is. It's in the middle of a repaint -
