Yeah...and it's a Wildcat in the later 2-tone upper camo with white undersides. I'd like to know more about this aircraft, particularly if other photos of it exist.
Also, I am I seeing an overpainted '13' on the cowling? If so, Jan might be interested.
2 tone? Looks 3 tone to my eyes on the cowling my friend...

I think the official colours were Non-Specular Sea Blue and Intermediate Blue on the upper surfaces and white on the undersides, with soft transitions between the colours rather than any hard masked edges.
