When 'Yellow' was scheduled to fly his last mission on 312 Squadron, it was decided that it would be great if he could get a proper sent-off. Some yellow water based paint was sourced and applied to both sides of the tail. A rather surprised pilot flew indeed his last flight in this aptly marked aircraft, commemorating Yellow's departure from the Squadron. The paint was removed again immediately after his flight! Barely visible under the paint is its serial J-255 and the 315 Squadron badge. This photo is copyright © Berry Vissers, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
