2013 RAF Tucano Display Scheme Revealed
All ...
Plans for the paint scheme for the 2013 Royal Air Force Tucano Display aircraft have been revealed by 72(R) Sqn at RAF Linton on Ouse.
The 2013 airshow season coincides with the 70th anniversary of 72 Squadron’s involvement in North Africa, in support of the Tunisian campaign during World War II, and 72 Squadron also assisted the Allied 8th Army as it advanced through Italy and France, whilst it was based out of Malta and Sicily. During this period, 72 Squadron flew the Supermarine Spitfire Mk
Vb, Mk Vc, Mk VIII, and Mk IX; a number of which were painted in Mediterranean Camouflage (Dark Earth, Middle Stone and Azure Blue), which was used to better conceal the aircraft in the more tropical climates of North Africa and Southern Europe.
