3Sqn Anniversary Typhoon

I believe repaint costs for specials comes out of the units own contingency budget. Although permission to go ahead is needed from at least HQ Air Command. (what was Strike command).
Budget reasons was why we only saw one complete repaint on the Harrier retirement.

Ah yes, that Hawk is 100 Sqdn. and their 'Airborne Cigar' Lancs were painted in camo over black, so it is true to type.

It's missing the socking great aerials on the dorsal spine and under the nose though........

I agree that it's marked up as a WWII bomber (and it's growing on me the more I see it), but where do the "95-Y" codes come from?

I bet it's because the Sqdn. is 95 years old...........

The clue is wriiten right on the rudder.

As they say ...doh! I thought it was one of the more unusual squadron codes and did not see the obvious!!!
