The Shawbury Wessex were standard NATO grey/green with red hi-viz banding. At my time on them (very late 70Â´s), any way. I have never seen one in full training scheme. You may mean Raspberry Ripple. This was used on several wessex.

Can someone assist?. I've added the folding tail and to my recollection the tail folded along the starboard side of the aircraft (it was a long time ago...). However, I have got a few pictures which clearly show it folded on the port side.

So I have animated it to fold to port as shown below, but then the tailrotor very obviously fouls the upper fuselage. Anyone know which way it really went?

Hi Ben,

Found this pic. It folds to port side as per screenie above. I guess the tail won't be moved until main rotors are folded.
