Into the blue..

A quick set of (similar) shots showing DG's lovely Mossie in 540Sqn PRU-Benson and the RA Spit BF273 from the High Altitude Squadron..
I think PRU blue is such a lovely colour. I may get around to painting the JF Hurricane in a similar scheme at some point

They were just short of FL280 in the last shot.

Nice.
Seems like they learned how to switch the engines on, too!

You may titter..
I actually started this in the Spit with the Mossie picked as AI but like the Dove and Heron, it has a very slow prop rotation when used as AI with AirTrafficFX. Knowing the Spit works fine, I reset the situation so no more gliders

Lovely to look at Dave, colourwise and choice of aircraft.
Was the pink PRU for a different altititude, or maybe that was later/earlier? Too lazy to look it up right now.

Hi Mike
If memory serves me right.. the Pink scheme was used in the desert and was particularly difficult to see around sunrise/sunset. Could be wrong though and it wouldn't be for the first time

Had a squiz on the net, and as usual, you're spot on, Dave.

I was pretty certain that was the reason for it. Funny how you remember some things yet I can barely remember what I did last week

Cheers Paul
I didn't realise quite how similar they were until I had all 4 stacked up in Photoshop.. they all seemed so different when I snapped them
I must make an effort to do the PRU (JF/AH) Hurricane which always gets left out.. the glory going to the Spit (as per).
