The Martlet absolutely doesnt as they spent ages taking it back to its original WW2 paint like the Corsair!
I love the FAAM, they rotate things regularly and have some superb machines - Hendon and IWM could learn from them- great pics thanks for sharing

Blimey. The Extra Dark Sea Grey looks all right but that underside blue is reminiscent of Spitfires in "Battle of Britain" and what on earth has happened to the Dark Slate Grey???TEXANTOMCAT wrote: ↑Thu 30 Dec 2021, 11:43 amThe Martlet absolutely doesnt as they spent ages taking it back to its original WW2 paint like the Corsair!

Having read the link above, I was reminded that I read somewhere that a G-36A was the only foreign made aeroplane that shot down a Luftwaffe aircraft in the Battle of Britain.Fargo Boyle wrote: ↑Fri 31 Dec 2021, 1:40 amMore about the Martlet conservation and paint scheme here

Hi Grant,
I'd say it is the auto-white balance on your camera not getting the situation quite right.
You can correct the white balance on photoshop

Re: Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton
Probably right, Andy. I need to get a new camera, it's old hat now, although to be fair I had limited time at FAAM so went merrily around snapping away rather than adjusting the lighting to suit each situation. That's evident in the Carrier Exhibition shots.
I use Lightroom for editing, don't know how to use PS
Re: Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton
Hi Grant,
nothing wrong with the shots.
dont use Lightroom but should be a simple correction - should be something like colour correction or white balance correction.
will just be a function you have not used yet!

Re: Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton
I've used it, the white balance settings are colour and tone sliders in Lightroom. I suspect it was the setting on my camera at the time I took the picture. I did have limited time; that day we drove from Salisbury where we had spent the night, to Yeovilton, then to Farnborough to the FAST museum, so we had an hour or so in each place. Was in the Cobham Hall, too.
