barnstormer1968; I now have a picture in my mind of a Bel
slow with go-faster stripes... Come to think of it, didn't the original transport command colour scheme have go-faster stripes?

They obviously didn't work!
By the way, there's an almost airworthy Belslow at Southend (G-BEPS ex XR368
Theseus) which has been refurbished and is just minus one prop at the moment. Maybe someone should try fitting some TP400s to it to see what happens? That would be interesting. Maybe it would finally become a Bel
fast.
