Mystery Vulcan markings
Further to my comments on the other Vulcan thread, I've been looking through my material and Vulcan B1 XA890 is the machine that carried rather unusual white patches on the wing leading edges, fin leading edges, and under the engine fairings. I can only assume that this is actually flourescent orange (which usually looks white on b&w photos) but I wonder if anyone can confirm this?
The other mystery is whether the paint is applied only under the engine fairings, or whether it extends right across the lower fuselage.
Of course, the biggest mystery is why it was applied in the first place!
