Amy Johnson & Jim Mollison DH Dragon G-ACCV

Amy Johnson & Jim Mollison flew DH Dragon G-ACCV from Pendine Sands in South Wales to Conneticut USA where they crash landed after running out of fuel.

I dont suppose we have an Aviation Historian reading these pages who can advise on the colour scheme of this aircraft. I have seen the B&W photos on Google, and my gut feeling is overall green like her Moth 'Jason' was, but if anyone knows with any certainty, I would be grateful for the info.

The pair were seriously injured in the accident, separated, and shortly after divorced. Amy remained in the USA for a while with Jim returning to the UK. The Dragon was a write-off.
