Why is it called raspberry ripple - when was the last time you had dark blue ice cream??

My personal fave! gotta be the most colourful with the yellow/black striped undersides

[Two_Squirrels]

Very nice. I feel privileged knowing that I have flown in most of these!

[Bjcc]

Nice to see you still about Chilts!

Anyway, my contribution...






















Enjoy

And two oldies at IAT 1985, Fairford from me.
The Air Tattoo used to attract lots of raspberries in those days. In 1985: Andover, 2 BAC1-11s, Dakota, Varsity, Viscount, 2 Devons, Phantom, Hawk, HS125, 2 Canberras, Scout and Basset.

What a wonderful topic. Thanks especially to chilts and bjcc and C-VIX. All interesting, though, I must admit! Ta!

[BeanieMan]

A very good idea Rich!

Couple of badly scanned slides from 1990/2, when the UK's premier training base was open, Hawks were grey, Tucanos were red & white and these two were in active service at Boscombe. Happy days.........





Cheers!

Wot a crackin thread, lots of luvvly ripple

---------------------

[chrisward123]

Fantastic thread, wish I could still see the Ras Rip Jag still flying!
I know that the BAC 1-11 and Andovers are still flying but how many?
Havn't seen them in a bit.

Cheers

[capercaillie]

A lovely selection but a couple of strays in there.

Tucano isn't raspberry ripple, but just in the old RAF training scheme of red, white and grey and the Comet isn't ripple either although if anyone can post XV814

From recollection 30 types have been adorned in authentic ripple scheme:
Phantom, Buccaneer, Tornado, Jaguar, Harrier, Hunter, Canberra, Hawk, Meteor, Gnat, Jet Provost, Devon, Basset, Navajo, Jetstream, Dakota, Varsity, Viscount, 748 & Andover, One-Eleven, 125, Comet, Scout, Gazelle, Lynx, Wessex, Puma, Sea King, Mi8 and Twin Pioneer, the last being officially designed by Boscombe after the aircraft left service according to the Classic Flight at Coventry. Not included the Twin Squirrel as its not really in proper ripple (not enough red). If anyone can think of any others please add to the list.

A few to hand

[phreakf4]

Does this count?

[garethbrum]

What a great thread!





Not sure this is strictly a ripple!

[Lomcevak26]

Some really excellent stuff in this thread! Lee, another for your Wessex shot - beautiful!

Morley, phabulous Phantom! Is it me or does the Phantom look better in R-Rip than anything other type, just seems to suit its lines so well.
