Anyone know... i do.. let see how clever you are.

Shame they changed the paint scheme as T0.114 is more interesting than grey paint.

The ordnance is all white, for one.

The way the tail number is painted *might* be inconsistent with what the actual numbering scheme was in that scheme (and it's on there twice, as if it were an N number down there below the horizontal).

It also needs a buzz number on the cowling

The tailcode TC never exisited on the grey spads.. and they should know that when they painted her.

Randy, the bottom number looks an awful lot like the Navy BuNo without the dash inserted.
