Hi,
At this URL...

I have posted several pictures of 489 NZ Sqn Hampdens. I am trying to
gather information on why one Hampden (XA-Y) appears to be painted in
an 'ocean' grey and sky scheme, yet images of both earlier and later
Hampdens from the sqn show them in Green/Brown/Black schemes. (Of
course, the photo dates could be wrong...).
There was a proposal that these Hampdens carried an early/experimental
Torpedo bombing scheme of Medium Sea Grey over Sky
There is evidence on the elevator of a pattern.
See here for a previous discussion:

Don't reply to the btconnect address - and remove nospam!!
Thanks for that- is there any way of seeing the photos these guys are talking about?
