RAF 'Specials'

[avro748]

To try and brighten up this dismal grey day I have been rounding up some of my photos of RAF ‘Special’ schemes. Schemes applied mainly to commemorate squadron anniversaries or display aircraft. There are of course many schemes I haven’t got in my collection and if anyone would like to add there ‘Specials’ please feel free. The Hawks could have provided enough material for a post of their own, with the type appearing in an amazing number of ‘Specials’ over the years.
