Yes Chris - Established in Dubai in May 2016 though our main Operating Bases are Derby / United Kingdom and Brisbane / Australia. I had the idea whilst I was staying on the Palm Jumeirah which is largest of the man-made islands in the shape of a palm tree on which is the Al Saray hotel.
Anyway speaking of Derby in the OFC: Oil Flying Corps workshop the first two of four Wings of War Kuznetsov Edition Hawker Hurricane Mk IIs are undergoing a transformation. First though the trick is to blank the crudely painted Soviet Air force logos topside along with the two more carefully presented logos on the underside. Exactly what these are all set to become has yet to be decided and the plan to paint one of them green / grey has been ditched on the grounds of historical inaccuracy.
But this last photo I am including actually comes from March 2016 shortly after the Hammerhead 2016 event at Newark. Because of the 279 Air Sea Rescue Squadron RAF Spitfire Mk II I had just finished painting in it. Still is an absolute masterpiece IMHO and my greatest success in painting to this extent to date ...
Why the picture is entitled SOD OFF! though I am totally unsure??!
