Trust John to find more details. Update coming tomorrow!

Question, did the Mk.1a ever fly with the grey green scheme?

Question two: Jankees, would you mind doing a fictive one if they didn't?

Cheers,

Priller

I think I found one picture of a grey/green mk.1a, I'll see if I can dig it up again. Or we could apply a mk.2 scheme, they're not that different.

I have substance painter on my computer, I just don't have the time to learn how to use it..yet..
Maybe over xmas?

Somewhat gob smacked to learn you are color blind.
If you can't discern differences very well, how do you get the subtle changes in several shades of green, for instance, into your liveries?

The Fleet Air Arm had some as lead-in trainers for Seafire pilots, they would have been grey / green standard colours for FAA at the time.

Some more pictures and infos about Richard Hardy's Spitfire.
There is a small inscription consisting of two words on the nose.
Examination of the photos suggests that it appears on both sides.
It is difficult to read exactly this inscription.
Some read "Duty Dick" while others read "Dirty Dick".

Ah yes the famous Mk IIa of Douglas Bader, the legless ace.
