Have you try to contact Richard Caruana? He is from malta and maybe best informed in the subject.

Chris, I think it is all a question of choosing your Hurricane(s) carefully.

Graham, in the few photos that I have seen of such Hurricanes I was always puzzled about the actual "spaghetti" colours, but there seemed little doubt that the colour wrapped around the nose and leading edges was Aluminium (silver). I am certainly no expert on these, however.

Thanks to all.
We'll do our best, trying to avoid "flak" shells...
