Still pushing paint around on this one; my take on one of 2 Avro 623 which were ceded to Kenya Auxiliary Air unit in 1939-40
having previously been in Tanganyika. Now, two things here , the 623 was a 3 seater ,used for aerial survey work (and we don't have one of these in Nigel's pack due to poly limits ) and I'm not sure at all on the colour scheme ; as it was an aerial survey platform (not a trainer per se) I can't decide what to paint the underside. Yellow means non-op ; whereas I can see a survey machine being used for border patrol or aerial reconnaissance in a semi operational role , with the 'sky' blue undersides.
