Wessex Markings
Its good to see this thread revived a few months ago and I would like to take the opportunity to do so again. I know that there is a large Wessex fraternity on here so maybe one of you could help me out.
I took this picture at Farnborough on 11 Sept 1988 and have wondererd ever since about the spelling of the word RESCUE. Is this just a man with a paint brush having a laugh ot is it just the result of employing someone who did not know any better. Its obviously very easy to change the C to a Q, likewise the F in RAF on the door seems to have been convrted to an E.
I wonder if there are any other examples of this sort of thing out there???
QP

Probably a few bits of black `bodge` tape......

Some naughty people have been known to change th registration with bodge tape (Harry Blackers for the RN) to confuse the spotters at airshows.
