Colour schemes and Clashes

When we went from the, obviously, beloved s*** and custard to green and grey, if memory serves, we ran a Masirah schedule out of Lyneham. Am I alone in remembering the one that called for an engine change in Masirah? Unfortunately, nobody had apparently thought about the down-route stock of engines and all those in Masirah were SandC - sick Albert was GandG.

There was nothing to be done but change the engine producing a very weird effect and on its return to LYE that Albert (at OC Eng's insistence) was confined to the circuit until uniformity prevailed. Somebody must have a picture somewhere!
