Anyone have any contact information for the owners and or people who maintain the aircraft? I am curious to find out the brand of paint they used to paint the aircraft.

Thanks for any help.

She was painted at Sky Harbour Aircraft just down the road from me which has since closed down. This was in July 2011 IIRC. There website is still live with an email contact so maybe someone is checking it?

They did a nice poppy drop off the sea front at Lee-on-Solent on Tuesday evening, before leading the formation of 8 Dakotas over to France the following day.

I will talk to my friend Nick, who flies it a lot for the owner. He might know something about the paint.
