ok.. after bloody AGES carefully sanding away layers of paint to find:
R/F/S4/VB7234
C
DTD 772
(modified)
B17 8893
impressively emblazoned on both the nose and fuselage of my Sea Hawk,
today I called the Fleet Air Arm Museum to see if they could help identify
what these magical numbers mean.
"Easy sir.. thats the paint scheme indicator".
