It is not a colored B&W Photo but original WWII Color.My notes (finally
found them)state it was an FAA repair depot in the UK.

Thanks very much for the repost,

Looking very closely I still think it is a coloured B/W or at least it's
been "helped".
Nevertheless, it's very nicely done and I still think it is VERRRRY
interesting and I'll very gladly add it to my collection of "harvested-
from-the-net-and-groups" pics.

But if someone was "colouring" a B/W original why would they show the grey
on the Seafire and that on the Corsair as so different, or at least
differently weathered? And the gas-detection patch faithfully rendered in
its sort of zinc chromate colour, and the red primer on the repairs to the
starboard wing? Too clever by half, I think!

To me, it certainly has an authentic, genuine look to it, but then maybe I'm
just guillable!
