AusRam@Maciej Bellos... A good question as I need to do research as I thought it was more the RAF Blue Gray, and not green. The Dark green is coming from Scalemates entry for the decals - I think it's incorrect.
Just found this - Humphrey had been repainted prior to Antrim's arrival at Ascension Island on 10 April. It is described as 'RAF Blue-Grey overall with very dull Red/Dark Blue [almost black] roundels; deck letters deleted; ROYAL NAVY titles, serials and the name "Humphrey" on the nose all overpainted Black'.
So I think I'll be doing it as RAF Blue Grey.
