Thanks for the replies chaps, knew you'd come though.
Have now heard a couple of other things about the subject Mossie. Seems it was dark gloss red overall with white lettering, must have looked good. Also that the crash site was on a beach at Megui, Southern Burma. This last from Brian Cook who flew over the site on his way back to Singapore when the race was over.
Also found out that a number of other "private" <?> entries in the speed section had been withdrawn. These incuded a Royal Danish Air Force F-84 Thunderjet;
two Australian
PR.41 Mosquitos; a Griffon-engined Mk 24 Spitfire; a Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Mustang and a North American F-82 Twin Mustang.
Again, thanks for the gen troops.
