• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Maybe' Paint for Nigel's Avro Tutor.

K3460 was one of a batch of 277 Tutors' delivered to RAF, to contract 195190/32 to meet Specification 25/32, between March, 1933 and December, 1935.

The only reference found is that is was struck off charge to Lundy & Atlantic Coast Airways at Barnstaple; on 4th May 1944 having previously served on the Station Flight at RAF Thornaby, N Yorkshire.

Thornaby was a Coastal Command station, so I've painted it per the DTD360 23 Feb 1943 document appendix 5; "Aircraft for Coastal Duties except PR, Met, ASR and Special Duties.

Upper surfaces Extra dark Sea Grey, Undersurfaces Glossy White (to pattern 1)"; However, being non-operational I have given it the required Yellow undersides.

The 2 predominant squadrons at Thornaby at the time of its' retirement were 280 and 281, both in the ASR role with Vickers Warwick aircraft; so their unit crest's feature on each side of fuselage, and it is coded RJ; the Station Flight code for Thornaby: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAF_squadron_codes

FS9 as I don't run FSX sorry.
