Taxiing out from Prestwick's Main Terminal. Sporting the badge of 46 Squadron and the RAF's then standard colour scheme for tactical transports, comprising Dark Earth / Mid-Stone / Black, reflecting their main focus of operation in the Far / Middle East. The White on the cockpit roof was intended to keep the interior heat down. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
