Camouflage
Hi Paper Tiger,
It was just a comparison between a Maggie in camo and bare legs versus one (mine!) in an earlier scheme - RAF trainer yellow, polished cowling and spatted U/C.
I defy anybody to stand in front of them both and say that the drab machine is prettier. Historically more accurate maybe but prettier? I don't think so...
You will understand from my previous posts that I am keen to see a Maggie in a civvy scheme. MMMmmm!
Polished camouflage or military schemes applied to aircraft with zero military history make me groan.
THere are a few civvy Miles machines in camouflage around the world. One particular Messenger 'down under' is painted in the most appalling 'camouflage' scheme that is so wrong it is laughable - even if it did once wear military markings (which it didn't...)
Ugh...
