Another reason why I dislike TFT's! I looked at that shot earlier and it looked hemp. Looking at it on the laptop with the screen at a slightly different angle.. it looks like low-vis grey in bright sunlight 8)

Did look like it

Reminds me of the pic someone posted of a Cambrian Trident in the orange roof livery

A slight alteration on the hue and suddenly and after not much adjustment, it was a Northeast yellow top.

The hemp scheme was trialled on Victors first IIRC.
The actual shade was supposed to mimic a weathered concrete, so the planes wouldn't be as conspicuous when
caught on a spy camera from above.
