Is it a guessing game?

Why? Where? When? Who? How? What?

I'm assuming with your previous connections its part of the Gazelle Lovers Association fleet and its going to be painted in the original Royal Navy scheme of orange and black, to add something we haven't seen in a while to the circuit. :biggrin: :up: :shock:

Agree with the poster about the 705 NAS colour scheme from 1970's. I flew a fair number of these and preferred it to the red/white re-paint which started to appear during my tenure at 705.

Do any orange and black examples survive ?

However, I would imagine it might be quite difficult to source that orange paint today?

Note the date :whistle:

This aircraft is also part of Navy Wings, so expect it at some relevant locations for that.
