Thanks, Martin.

Actually I knew those thingies were air brakes, but I was really trying to
find out why the insides were painted orange. Is it just for decoration or
does it serve a (safety or other?) purpose?

Also, in Tom's next picture you can see that insides of the (leading edge
slats?) are also painted orange. Again, is there a purpose?

Thanks in advance.

Tom

serious guess is that it's for safety. in the first pic, the inside of the
front slats (or whatever you call them) are orange too. maybe to warn ground
crew where *not* to put fingers and hands?

just a swag on my part.... %-)
