Hi Cometracer,
I would also love to see the colour shot of the dayglo XH132! Please??
I only saw her once, at Sydenham (I refuse to call it anything else!) in or around the 1984/85 timeframe.
She was taking off from Rwy 22, unfortunately I was walking to our line hut for a "wee burn" in a Bulldog and camera was nowhere to hand. She was, off course, in Raspberry Ripple at that stage. She looked absolutely stunning.
I've promised myself to build a model of her in these markings, but then found out about the rumoured dayglo scheme! Have now found four B&W shots of her at Sydenham in this scheme, but would love to see a splash of colour, no matter how distant.
Hope you can help,
Michael.
P.S. Also frequented Victoria Park, courtesy of my Gran, to view Short's finest in the late 60's/early 70's. Happy times!
