SE 5A, Hudson Mk.I of IAC

[FiSe]

I wonder if there's somebody, who made a reaserch or knows something about
- R.A.F. SE 5A colour scheme in which it -allegedly- should served with Irish Air Corps in 1923. This all red - silver wings seems to me as a highly speculative scheme

- Lockheed Hudson Mk.I IAC No.91. What colour scheme and registration it wore after sold to Aer Lingus in august 1945? '>

The SE5A was delivered to the Air Corps in this scheme the wing roundels were green white and orange, it had no fuselage markings and it had rudder stripes. It suffered engine failure and force landed in the south west during the Civil War in 1922. The roundels were changed to stripes in service. I do not speculate.
The Hudson had all its camouflage removed at Aer Lingus and carried the civil letters EI ACB. HTH

OK thanks, I have both planes on my "to do" list of kits and I will do some colour profiles on them for Wicklow Scale Modelling Club web page - http://wsmc.irishost.net/ so I am trying to get and cross check all informations I can get...

About Se5: It would be great to know a little bit from its previous history - original RAF squadron, that would be the best, since there are some colourful camos in "home defence sector" back in 1918, so some of them could survive till 20's

[Tony Kearns]

You are welcome. The SE 5A had no RAF Squadron service.The RAF serial was F5282. It was built by Martinsyde Woking, 10 Sept 1918 and delivered at Ascot Detachment Feltham Aerodrome. On 12 Sept 1918 it was despatched to ASD Waddon for storage. I would be interested in seeing the profiles if and when completed but I cannot seem to be able to access the web site you quote.

Clicking on the link above works for me, maybe your ad blocking software (if you use any) or anti virus software is blocking the website?  There are quite a few ads on that website.

And you could say thank you for the information I sent to you in my second posting. Do you realise that it took me years to find this information and you had it in an instant. It is called good manners and courtesy.
