    Default Bristol F2B in hexagonal camouflage

    Just take a look:



    It's the F2B from 141 Sqn (Home Defence) in experimental hand-painted hexagon camouflage.

    Nice subject if you can make a lot of hexagons

    A very interesting subject. Quite a few of the Home Defence aircraft sported rather eccentric colour schemes.

    Camouflage? Interesting colours for such a purpose... but indeed it looks rather interesting
