Topic of the week #2 Paint
Topic of the week #2 Paint
For this weeks competition the subject is any non-standard paint scheme (celebratory, commemorative etc,) from any era and any Air Arm/Force or private owner. It doesn't have to apply to the whole aircraft, so decorated tails or D-Day stripes are fine, as are designated display aircraft. 5 Entries each, winner to be announced next Tuesday.

I really like painted celebration aircraft (forgetting completely the RAF 100th corporate tail sticker which was a huge missed opportunity)

Stunning selection of photos, making it very difficult to choose just one. Worthy mentions to Andy, Paul, Sacha and Shaun, but in the end it was down to a shortlist of Johns X-Wing, Deans MIg 21 and Nicks F15. I m going with the F15, so it’s over to you Nick.
