Re: Roal Dahl and spaghetti Hurricanes
Nice idea, but the wing leading edges wouldn't be showing, and the scheme was observed before the Greek campaign. I believe that one photo shows two Hurricanes being flown out to Greece, one in the "spaghetti" scheme.
Undersides were probably Sky Blue. The wrapround light colour on the nose and wing leading edges was the underside colour. if you consider it not as a protection scheme on the ground, but to reduce detection of an forthcoming attack from the ground, it makes more sense.
I don't think the serial of Dahl's aircraft is known (hopefully I'm wrong there), but at this stage it is unlikely to have carried any markings other than the serial.
