Dear Sir,
I'm Renzo catellani and I'm the present owner of JP XM478/G-BXDL.
Iwant to thank you all for your precious and very appreciate support.
With these informations, Ill be able to replace the actual silver/yellow livery with an original one silver/dayglo.
Thank to your interest, Ive received several emails with different informations and I've stated that XM478 flew with 1FTS (28/09/1960 to 22/10/1974, coded "17") then, after having had the upgrade to "A" standard at BAC Warton (23/10/1974 to 27/01/1975), still with 1FTS.
From 22/12/1980 it was assigned to 7FTS (coded "104") up to 30/09/1984). From 01/10/1984 it was sent to 1FTS again (but coded "33") up to her retirement on 02/09/1994.
However, in this very interesting and precious topic I haven't understood if 1FTS adopted, in the early sixties, RED or ORANGE dayglow scheme.
Can you help me?
Very soon I'll be able to present a picture with the first view af the new colour scheme.
Thank you for your patience
(and soory for my poor english!!!
).
Best regards,
Renzo Catellani
