So the E-model seems to have marked the transition to the later models. I never understood if their fins were swept for reasons aerodynamic, structural, or merely cosmetic!
Wondering if anyone has any recollection - or even better colour photos - of the F.150G's that arrived late 1966/early 1967 (G-ATZY/Z, G-AVAA/B/C, G-AVEM/N/O/P). Have found a couple of B&W photos but I am keen to find out the actual colours (modelling project). Thanks to anyone who can help with this one.
