Air BP Fuel Truck colour photo

[Centaurus]

A colleague is a retired Hudson pilot whose hobby is collecting Flight Manuals. He has over 200. He also collects models of refuelling trucks and asked me if I had any idea where he could locate a colour scan of an Air BP Refuelling Truck. He has a model of one but the paint has had it and he wants to touch it up. I think they were green in colour. He lost me on that one, so I thought Nostalgia readers might have some ideas where one could see a photo on the net

He could try looking at some of the older pictures on airliners.net A lot of pictures are taken on the ramp with lots of attendant ground equipment.

My recollections are a white tanker fuselage, with a broad green stripe (several feet thick) and a yellow shield bp badge.

Awesome photo - thanks a million for both replies.

That's Argonaut 'Hotel Golf' isn't it? That's the one that crashed in Stockport in the late '60s. I remember pedaling me bike all the way over there to be greeted with the sight of the aeroplane's tail, with that big tail fin with BM on it, resting in the only bit of open ground in that part of the town.
