@Robhereagain @svas_oldwarden @ShuttleworthTru I think its part of the paint scheme, in order to make it looked 'aged' during filming, a similar weathered effect was applied on the last temporary scheme.

Glad I got chance to see 'Yellow 10' in her temporary filming colours @ShuttleworthTru premiere #airshow this weekend

It is with a heavy heart & incredible sadness to advise the tragic news that Battle of Britain hero Archie McInnes sadly passed away last night, just hours after celebrating his 100th birthday amongst friends & family. An inspiration & hero of a man - rest in peace dear Archie 💔

A quote from our friend Dan Stijovich "26, 27 Feb'19, a memorable couple days to say the least..." Dan was able to shoot great footage from F-117A Nighthawks above Death Valley (CA). Check our report https://t.co/ECLXng3MLy #F117 #USAF #Nighthawk #DeathValley #aviation #stealth

[Historic Helicopters @NavyWessex]

For the first time since 6th November 1986 XT761 (G-WSEX) engages the main rotor
A huge step forward towards first flight, testing will continue, stay (rotor)tuned..........

[Historic Helicopters @NavyWessex]

Today the CAA issued XT761 with her permit to fly.

The whole team has worked extremely hard and this is an historic moment that we are all very proud of.

It has been a massive effort from all involved to reach this stage.
