I took these on Firday the 10th of October 2008 at the AVEX at Mystery Creek. I hope they're useful to modellers.
Note the red seat covers. These covers get changed about once a year from memory (I used to do it at Wigram, a real difficult task to stretch the new covers on). Note that sometimes the covers supplied are black rather than red so you can have either colour, but usually both seats were changed at the same time unless one had a fabric rip, so both would be red or both black. The sheepskin on top also fades so some of them are a lighter brown, depending on age.
Note the yellow paint dots that are marking areas of damage, probably stone chips, which need attention next time it's under maintenance.
