I found a copy of Adrian Balch's 'Testing Colours' on Amazon and bought it, what a feast of red, white and blue it is!

From a quick check through that it looks like the first aircraft to be painted in that scheme was Comet 4 XV814, with its Nimrod tail. That took place in 1977 apparently but there are photos in the book taken after that date which show aircraft in other schemes so it obviously wasn't an 'Action this day' edict to adopt it.

I must say that the Comet looks REALLY smart in that scheme too, and I have a number of Airfix Comets and wing tank conversions too.......

In passing, my memory must be fading because the BLEU BAC 1-11, XX105, wasn't repainted into its red-white-yellow scheme until 1972, by which time I'd got my HND and was working at British Rail. I can only assume I saw her in the stripped down scheme during one of the umpteen model shows I did at Cranfield in the '70s.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Just got that book myself, some lovely photos.  Includes a few types that served with the RAE, but not HM Armed Forces such as the Piper Navajo Chieftain.  This is the kind of thing that whiffs are made of.....

Some pics on Airliners.net of the Navajos, some in Raspberry Ripple, some with roundels painted directly over the Piper house colours:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Lovely stuff Nev!  My own pics of the privately owned Hunter preserved in it's original A&AEE colours along with an even more colourful freind.

Ah yes, 'Miss Demeanour' herself. :)

When I was working my office was about 3 miles from Kemble where many Hunters are based, thanks to Delta Jets there, one of which is 'Miss D'. One day I was driving home along the road to Tetbury that runs along the north side of Kemble, with my sunroof open as it was high Summer. I heard that distinctive Hunter 'Blue Note' and looked up out of the roof to see 'Miss D' directly overhead..........INVERTED at about 300 ft!

A good thing the road just there is quite straight really.....

These were shot in 2007 at the now defunct Yorkshire Airshow, it was small but I'll still miss it.  The two Hunters displayed together, then Miss Demeanour performed on her own in order to demonstrate the Blue Note, great stuff.
