Dec 3, 2017 #123 Crimea_River Marshal 47,207 15,509 Nov 16, 2008 Calgary A little dig there I see.... What are the cylinders in the first pic? I thought the guy who is crouching was holding a double latte for a second there.

Dec 4, 2017 #133 Crimea_River Marshal 47,207 15,509 Nov 16, 2008 Calgary Is that Warwick badly colourized, faded, or do we have a brown/grey camo scheme?

Dec 4, 2017 #135 Airframes Benevolens Magister 63,976 14,592 Aug 24, 2008 Cheshire, UK I agree, either colourised or hand-tinted, most likely the former. I think I have the same shot in the original B&W somewhere.

Dec 4, 2017 #136 buffnut453 Captain 8,413 14,499 Jul 25, 2007 Shropshire, England I think the artist was going for badly faded EDSG/DSG upper surfaces, where the DSG can sometimes take on a brownish tinge.
