Bit of a long shot but I'm after info about Luton Flying Club Cessna paint schemes. Specifically their original straight-tail Cessna 150's G-ARZF, G-ASSO, G-ASUE, G-ASTV, G-ASVF after they were repainted with larger registrations sometime in the late 60's (more accurate dates would be even better!). Abpic has a photo of G-ASUE in a light brown scheme and the others were painted the same scheme; just looking for what colour. I think G-ARZF was maroon-red and G-ASVF - which languished somewhere behind the Shell depot in the late 70's - was a brighter red. G-ASSO possibly was the same colour. G-ASTV may have been dark blue. If anyone can confirm any of this it would be very helpful. Photographs on line - especially colour - are elusive. The price of colour film 50 years ago meant that photographs were restricted to the interesting stuff rather than the mundane - IIRC a 20 exposure film for my Kodak Instamatic was around £2.50 in the late 60's - more than a month's pocket money!
