A yellow one ..... I can only assume you had no matches to hand - or at least a can of spray paint .... or even a tub of emulsion ..........

Harsh mate. Harsh.

And a Zippo is much more reliable in these weather conditions. :smt002
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Come on Andy, a yellow Falco is better than no Falco.
Actually thought they looked OK with a belly pan and side fairings all in yellow, was it YellowDuck, who had that paint job. or was it MellowYellow, can't remember.

Both of these did - YD has just added a non-yellow RSVR to go alongside his unfortunately-coloured Falco.

There have been a few others too .... but we don't like to talk about them :smt002

hmmm

i do recall you insisting that it was actually mustard or something similar - but definitely not yellow....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Suppose it was a sort of metalic yellow, but I liked it Paddy, whatever it was!
