That's a proper roundel isn't it!

Nice catch :up:

Does look somewhat like it was painted by a kid trying to make an Airfix kit but not having quite the right paint.

Fairly sure I had some Spitfires in that colour green...

Which shade of Green do you recognise? Front to Ramp+ Rudder or Ramp to Tailfin? Landing shot shows at least 2 colours.
Great catch in any case. :up:

Just out of interest. You say it was on an ‘air test’ Is it the Bangladesh crew that does it, or does Marshalls have their own flight crew etc?

Marshalls have a couple of crews; usually callsign Marshall03 or Marshall05 from memory but apparently this was 08!
