When the Vulcan first came into service it was all over White/sky coloured , as it was a high altidue nuclear bomber. After the Soviets perfected the SA-2 (As Mr Powers found out), they went to low level and got the all over camo. One could only presume they are camo undernearth becuase you never get to look up at one. I can quite beleive this, Ive met plenty of Hercuales's while riding my bike round Wales that where at lower altitude them me! Kev | |

Pity about the Vulcan, but I expect it was a very good day anyway. Regards Peter
