RW393, No. 601 Squadron RAuxAF, 1949
This aircraft took park in the Cooper Air Race of 1949. The competition for RAuxAF squadrons was named after W/C Geoffrey Cooper, M.P. The winged sword painted in front of the windscreen is the No. 601 Squadron crest.
This scheme should really be silver, however I decided to go for a natural metal finish and as it was a ‘race plane’ I’ve kept the weathering to minimal so a very clean machine…
