Raspberry Ripple Anyone ?
On the Chipmunk thread our good friend Clicker raised a question on the old (stunning IMHO) Raspberry Ripple colour scheme sported by many RAF aircraft in the 70's/80's ...
I thought it might be a bit of fun to see if we could complete a comprehensive list of all the aircraft that sported the scheme ...
Inclusive of ETPS with their Blueberry streak added to the Raspberry, DERA, Helicopters, Air Cadet Gliders etc. ... the only restriction being that it must be a Military Registration Serial ...
My "Starter for Ten" ...
Andover
Buccaneer
Canberra
Chipmunk
Gnat
Harrier
Hawk
Hunter
Husky
Jet Provost
Tornado
Tucano
Varsity
Best ...

An interesting possible addition to the list ... But I don't think it's on the Mil Register

Nice. The last two aren't raspberry ripple, as usually defined, though.
Harrier was already mentioned, but a picture of a key part of F-35B development is always worth it.
Forgot Meteor:
And the "Sea Merkin"

Sorry.
Back on topic:
We've forgotten Bassett, Twin Pin and C-47. The Twin Pin is arguable; it did fly with ETPS as XT610, but the raspberry ripple scheme came after it returned to the civil register.
