RAF Wrap Around Camouflage

[kitnut617]

B -Bravo VC-10 was also green /grey wraparound from1983 if memory serves.

Only one VC-10 (ZA141) was given the green/grey camo, and it wasn't the wrap-around either. It wasn't camo'd like that for very long either.  How do I know, the very latest Air-Britain Aeromilitaria has a nice article (Part 1) on the '47 Years of VC-10 Service' in it and a really good read too.

Yeah, IIRC it was to do with the exhaust blast.  The paint they had wouldn't resist the temperatures, or something like that.

IIRC the Nevada sun baked the paint on anyway although I believe that you are correct.
