I posted this earlier but got no answers. My question is: I am building the fairey Rotodyne, a project which flew as a civil prototype only. What I want to know is, it was planned for use by the RAF, so can I put it into RAF colours of that period... sort of as a concept demonstrator?

Hi Winchweight

Sorry, I missed your earlier post - maybe I was on holiday...

Here are a couple of links:

It certainly seems like a military version was on the cards...

All the best

Thanks very much. I think I'll have to go with the RAF Transport Command version that might have been.
