Further to the reply about her at Bermuda, be aware she also had a double false bow wave at that time and carried only Swordfish and Skuas.

When Illustrious was first commissioned she was painted in overall grey. My question is did she receive her airwing before the camouflage scheme was applied. I am asking because l would like to build the model before the camo was applied and need to know if it would be appropriate to have the planes on deck.
