Cracking photo indeed! As mentioned, the blue (or is it black? Hadn't considered that possibility!) "non-zigzag" cheatline seems to have been exclusive to CAW although a "zigzag" version of the blue line seems to have been adopted by the BCBS at Lindholme (plus a few other odd eaxmples with the RAE etc.). The yellow cheatline seems to have been exlclusive to Signals and the dayglow cheatline more common to Topcliffe, Stradishall and Gaydon machines. I have no idea why I kept seeing Varsities with the dayglow cheatlines at Strubby, unless they occasionally borrowed aircraft from other unit ...and to think that I used to imagine that all Varsities looked the same!
