One heck off a choice to paint the group as every aircraft had a different scheme for the race , I do have an old colour photo off No.69 . cool.gif guessing ? quite typical the age off photos turns to a yellowish tinge .

It is, and can be found here

Ian, you've probably got the same picture that I have and the Sand seems a tadge darker, but I have taken the colours from the USAAC Spec. 14057-A.
