That is a seriously sun-damaged paint job.

Or is it the photograph itself? The trees in the background seem a
reasonable colour.



That's the colour the Irish Air Corps used. The aircraft was restored a
few years ago and flew in that scheme for a while. AFAIK it's now back
in RAF camouflage. Can't look it up right now as we're late for our
eldest granddaughter's 8th birthday party.

I think the building is the Schiphol replica terminal at the Aviodrome
in Lelystad.
