Re: Malta's Hurricanes camo scheme (1941)
ME Command is said to have rejected Sky as being too light. The date of this, or indeed the exact wording, is not known to me. Malta, however, seems to have had a special place in the command structure, so it is not clear which standard of rules applied. I believe deliveries would have been in Sky Blue undersides. This is the 1930s standard Sky Blue not the wartime pale RAE shade. Definitely proving this is another matter - but you will see it represented on Chris Thomas's artwork for Hurricanes over Tobruk and Ron Bellings' paintings of SAAF aircraft of this period.
If you check Hurricanes Over Malta you'll see the colour photo I have in mind - not sure from memory that it was black/white undersides or black with some other colour.
