Hi I am doing a painting if the above and have a few questions.

1. the ladder the crew climbed to get into the aircraft what colour was it.

2. Were the vehicles used by the air force during the war e.g.: fuel tanker and small crew trucks were the camouflaged or air force blue?

part progress of the painting attached. It is 1200x 650mm oil on canvas.

Looks like a good project, can't wait to see how this turns out. Your other paintings have been top shelf.

I believe RAF vehicles were painted in a green/brown scheme. RAF blue would, I think, have been earlier than the period depicted in your picture here with the Stirling. As for the ladder, no idea sorry. I'd imagine it would have been painted wood? Maybe black? Someone will know for sure.
