Saunders Roe P531 (Scout/Wasp Prototype)
 

Hi Im trying to find a colour photo of the SARO P531 G-APNU or G-APNV does anybody have such a picture in their collections or remember what colours were used, All I can find on the internet are black & white photos

Thanks

A few here

SARO P531 - Google Search

Thanks tried that, but what I'm looking for is to find out what what colours were used on the 1950s prototype

S-P,if you try thr Flypast ,Historics ,somebody will be able to sort it ...hopefully.!

There is a photograph of the second prototype Saro P.531 G-APNV at Farnborough Sept 1958 at the following link:-
Westland Scout - G-APNV - AirTeamImages.com.
In Flight Magazine's report on Farnborough 1958 below it states that both of the first two prototype P.531s (G-APNU & G-APNV) were at Farnborough that year and both were finished in blue and white. I think when the aircraft first flew they were in the primer colours.

I have a copy of Flying Review Oct 1958 which has a report on Farnborough 1958 and also includes a small black and white photograph of a P.531 flying at Farnborough and the colours whould appear to be the reverse of those shown in the AirTeam photograph. It would indicate that G-APNU's colours were the reverse of G-APNV.

Cheers MReyn good find thats a great help.

Your welcome hope it helps. Here is the photograph from Flying Review Oct 1958.
