Nice to see the real one...Jon did a paint of that a week or so back

Garry, I'd better update the virtual paint to match the reality rather than the website illustration!! Shame about the titles on the nacelles :@ . I think it's missing something without the blue tail, but I'm sure that change saved Andy Janes a few bob.

I forgot about the tail

We were saying then the real one would probably not be like the artist impression but we hoped the nacelles would not be a prob

At least the fuse titles don't go over the blanks

I finally got round to getting the paintbrush out again. Here's G-AYIM in Janes Aviation colours. I've had to guess at bits as I've only found 2 pictures of her in the new livery, both from the left front. If someone can point me to some other photos I'll update and correct as necessary, but if anyone wants to go flying one of the last British commercial budgies in the meantime I'll happily upload to Classic British Files. I'd love to know if the real aeroplane has actually flown since being painted, there seems to be very little activity.

Cheers
Jon
