Did the RAF fly them in that colour scheme? I thought they had been retired
before it was adopted.

I don't know, but if it's good enough for the Shuttleworth Collection,
it's good enough for me. This aircraft 'K2585' has appeared in other
guises, as T6818 in RAF camouflage and has a civilian registration of
G-ANKT.

The type remained in RAF service until 1952, having been introduced in
1932...
