Re: RAF First Line to Second Line Aircraft Colours
P7926 may have been re-painted at Morris Motors where it was repaired (6-6-42) after an accident and just before going to the ECFS; Z4791 wasn't converted to a Sea Hurricane, presumably a standard Mk.I but re-painted.
If it was intended to send them anywhere near a carrier the Navy wouldn't want them in a land scheme.
Incidentally just been to the the Shuttleworth Museum and their Sea Hurricane Ib has yellow leading edge stripes on the TSS (plus yellow fin).
