*A pet interest of mine has been seaplane operations aboard HMS Ben-my-Chree.
* I welcome opinions regarding the colours and markings of the Sopwith Schneider and Sopwith Baby aircraft operating from this ship. * Two I find particularily interesting are : Schneider 1445 Baby *8188 * * * * * MacBain |

Hi MacBain,
* Another interesting Schneider is 1577 from "Ark Royal". It appears to have a dark suface, much darker than you would expect from clear doped linen. * Yet photos revile that the Union Flag, and the Sopwith logo appears clearly on the dark rudder. *Is the dark finish factory or is it a tranlucent overpaint. *In what colour ? * navy grey ? roundel blue ? *a mix of the two ? * * * * * * * * MacBain |
