If anyone has any further info on this aircraft, I'd be interested to know if anyone knows why it was camouflaged. Seems strange that the paint scheme is carefully applied and even the serial has been re-applied (rather than am "M" number) - not the sort of effort you would expect for an aircraft doing to crash/rescue work. On the other hand I can't imagine it left Cranwell in camouflage, so one must assume it was repainted at Thorney island - but why?
