Found this while looking for something else. Neat shot!

Very interesting photo. The Meteor is Meteor IV RA421, not Meteor III EE311 which was written off in June 1946 in Ontario.

Why does the Prentice look pink?

Thanks AirJim2! I'll guess that it's trainer yellow, and we have colour shift. (It looks yellowish to me with my eyes, in daylight on my Mac here, FWIW.)

Regards,
