That was my first thought, but no. DW has said that he wanted something different and cosford's is BOAC. I think what he has decided on is WAY better!

I am very happy to have got photos of Canopus in the air as well as during her taxi runs at Brunty. :D

This new scheme is just the latest chapter in the life of another aviation Icon.. Well done DW.
