Never! It's British. It's probably a design feature. Also note the yellow boarding stairs beneath the aeroplane.. requiring passengers to bend over backwards through the gear bay, and climb through the wing root just to get to thier seats!
Anyway. Nice scheme! Certainly don't see any like that anymore.
It' annoying when you know something.....I am still trying to find a pic that proves what I KNOW but is generally not believed...... Northeast Viscounts had yellow wings underneath
Garry,
I didn't know that you had already done the repaint - I saw your comment in the thread about VC10 tail props and thought that I would provide the photographic proof at last. That photo was on the back cover of one of volumes of British Independent Airlines.
I didn't recall that I had seen any of these, then found a black and white photo of one taking off from LAP.
- the large scan clearly shows silver edges but then yellow.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.
