573 - Small but significant progress
Xl 573 went into the hangar yesterday for a major service. All panels to be removed, and fin, tailplane and ailerons taken off for corrosion checks and lubrication etc. Low hours engine will be re-fitted and ejector seats serviced. All functionals such as flaps, speedbrake and undercarrige to be testedand adjusted.
I am keen to keep her in authentic colours but would like something different to her current wrap aroung grey/green which is now faded and drab.
The 4FTS colours look bright, but what did she look like when allocated to the DFLS at West Raynham or with 229 OCU at Chivenor? Does anyone remember?
I shall not be painting her in drinks company colours unless I am desperate for the sponsorship!
