The great camouflage & markings debate

[Adam]

Richard, Nick,

I spoke directly to the curator of large objects - a Mr John White - who gave the impression the aircraft's paint scheme had only been 'repaired' (for want of a better term) the once. My advice would be to contact John White at the AWM directly. His relevants are:

john.white@awm.gov.au

Alternatively (and depending upon who's paying the international phone call), you can call John, though for ease of contact I suggest calling the main office and asking to be put through to either John or the Large Objects curating section (both only available Mon-Fri) - depending upon who is available. The phone number is:

+61-2-6243-4211

There is also a research section at the AWM, though I'm not sure quite how much information they would have on the aircraft. It can be contacted through

info@awm.gov.au or on +61-2-6243-4315


As a lst resort, the AWM's postal address is

GPO Box 345
Canberra, ACT
Australia 2601

regards and good luck

Adam

Looking at original colour photos 'before' and having seen the aircraft 'after', it looks like a complete make over of the paint.there are no 'patches' of paint as per the non restored finish. The original wax finish was still extant previous to the repaint as well
