Hornets Invade Grenada

[color=#000000]Ok, it's just one (Sea) Hornet and it's a tour, not an invasion. And the weapons are display mock ups, not live.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Yes Larry I think light blue would look good.

That green reminds me of the Maritime Patrol Aircraft like the Argus that were white and almost that shade of green.  :)

No, the green doesn't really fit in.
British fighters had a lighter shade of grey on the underside at the end of the war. I looked it up for you: http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/schemes/raf_day44_e.htm

Prototypes like this one also flew with a yellow belly, but I don't know if you like that better than green ;D
Call me Leen, it's way shorter :)

[color=#000000]No, don't think I want a yellow belly.

Goodly morning all... :)

Thanks also for those Links Doug.

I took a look and I do believe the livery on the Sea Fury and Hornet is the same livery as far as the green goes as is on the Argus Maritime Patrol Aircraft here at our museum.

Wait long enought and you will see some of the outside aircraft on display including the Argus Maritime Patrol Aircraft which was the best in the world at that time.  The Halifax is inside the museum.    :)

Good afternoon all... :)

Hi Larry...lots of history in that museum and they are now working on a flying Anson and hope to bring a Yukon Aircraft home.... ;)

Yup they used to fly that Auster to all the airshows to advertise the museum, then the insurance got too expensive to do that, so now it sits... ::)
