Another er,shall we say 'plausible' scheme ; post WW2 trainer scheme representing 2 FTS (RAF Hullavington or RAF Syerston)

Still a work in progress. "Soon" (Just have to paint the Townend ring)

Here's 2 FTS scheme finished



and a more possible scheme for same serial , on strength of Station Flight at HMS Siskin (former RAF Gosport) ; it's known K6115 was at RAF Gosport (as it was known then) in early part of WW2; where it was on RNAS catapult training duties.

(confused yet? I'll explain, Grange Aerodrome , named for Fort Grange , one of the Napoleonic era forts that formed part of airfield boundary, later became RAF Gosport, was built with deliberately short runways to train pilots how to approach an aircraft carrier; it also had a land based deck catapult , for catapult training; so was home as RAF Gosport to both RN and RAF units; in 1945 it was handed over to Navy completely as HMS Siskin; It's short runways being unsuitable for jets it closed to flying in 1956. What is left of the airfield is now HMS Sultan)

So lets assume it survived WW2, to emerge as a station hack....
