No.1

These Lightning were dressed in Natural Metal Finish, with nose and nacelles anti-glares in OD. We can see them very faded.
Actually, you can see drop tank on left-middle of photo, and it's painted in Neutral gray.

I see this mate. See also frame of cockpit, metal airplane in background as well never drop tank (I think less exposed to sun light and look darker). I guess the most in unit was as you say but this one does not look like that. Fade metal also look different. Never mind, Hardly that we can do anything with this, we need more images.

I check it out again and realize that your point is actually precise- it is very fade out aluminum color. Only inner side of engine is olive drab. Sorry :(

No problem, but checking what you say about fade metal, I think may be this unit was painted in aluminium dope (shiny appearance of Lightning at background, make me think that, aluminium paint has this kind of spot shine vs. natural metal finish). I don't remember if this Lightnings were in Italy in MTO. Let me look for more details........

Scott,

I was on influenza attack one year ago, and it is not fun at all. Take care of you, and follow your Doctor directions.

See you mates

I hope this strain of flu doesn't make it into your home, Memitus. It's quite strong and long-lasting!!
