Miles Martinet, No.2 APS, RAF, 1950

Aircraft: Miles Martinet TT.1

Status: Version 1.0

X-plane version: 8.64+

About:
This is a fairly typical livery for a post-war Martinet. The upper surfaces are standard training colours of the period; painted aluminum with yellow wing and fuselage bands. Undersurfaces are standard 1940's RAF tug Trainer Yellow with diagonal black stripes. Later tugs were finished in Golden Yellow (the same colour as used on RAF SAR helicopters) and had differently laid out stripes.

The main reason for this finish was to warn pilots of other aircraft of possibility that the tug was towing and therefore had right of way in the air. During WW2, RAF training gliders also used this distinctive marking for simmilar reasons.
