Hi
can anyone put me right on the correct colours for both single and twin engined Fleet Air Arm Aircraft for 1946 and 1947 please?

Many thanks
Peter

I'm not 100% sure but looking at photos of Seafire 46s, but I would say that for early 1946 FAA aircraft were still in the temperate sea scheme. In 1947 the FAA switched to Extra dark sea grey over sky. Sorry I can't give a specific date for the change over.
