Wow, that's a wild paint job. I'd love to know what the colors (or colours) were.

Reminds me of Spitfire 1a AR213 when it was the personal aircraft of 'Ginger' Lacey while he was an instructor at 57 OTU. Red, white and blue nose stripes; it'd be cool if it could be repainted like this in the future,

the dust cover sure makes a neat A/C ugly.
