Not hemp then

All this discussion on colour schemes. I think the pic at Cosford proves the point. I remember when the R was white top and first painted hemp- grey under. we did some experiments to strip the paint from the bomb bay using dry ice (went right through!) once the 7 layers of paint was off we could see all the way to Moscow without crossing the border. I feel the RJ will be good for the UK and 4 powers. as for the special relationship. always been the case (or some of it anyway) we did have some organic capability. pitty to have lost the ability to develop systems in house we once had at EWAU/D
