Now a question about colour....calling all CFS experts! The "CFS Aerobatic Team" of the 1960-62 period wore the standard silver and dayglo orange training scheme of the day, which was 'paint' as opposed to the later Fablon sticky dayglo paper. Here is that team at Farnborough in 1960:
In 1963, the team became "The Red Pelicans" and the aircraft got painted 'dayglo red' overall for the 1963-64 seasons as shown here at Farnborough in '64
Now I initially assumed that they just used the standard RAF dayglo paint on the aircrraft, but you can clearly see this is 'red' and not 'orange'.
The question is - was there a spec for this paint, or was it specially mixed just for the team? An all important question for us model makers!
