Parnall Elf Colour Scheme Unveiled

 

During the recent restoration of the Parnall Elf, evidence has been found for one of it’s original colour schemes.

For many years the Elf has been seen in its classic cream and green colours, but the original colour scheme appears to have been even more striking!

The original colour scheme for the Elf (mocked up in the side view of a MkI Elf above) featured a dove grey fuselage with orange/red highlights and light pink wings.

The Elf will certainly make a striking scene when it returns to the skies over Old Warden!
