Ah, that's American suspenders rather than British ones I take it?

;-)

The only shame is that Wales is not represented on our flag. No, I'm not
Welsh, but they deserve better in that respect.

Old man suspenders. don't think they have any particular group in mind
lol

Agreed about Wales. You don't hear much about Wales, no Robert the Bruce or
William Wallace, they really are the Rodney Dangerfield of the British
Isles.

No kidding...

Blue/black airframe, Union jack stripes painted along the fuse, St Andrews
cross on the empenage.

The link you supplied goes to a Hawk scheme that I don't remember flying.
The RAF training hawks started to be painted with the blue tops in the
mid-eighties and were mostly repainted black by the mid-nineties. I wonder
if this is a piece of modellers license? Anyway you mentioned a black
airframe so how about this one that was an official display jet a few years
ago.

That's what I figured. It probably was done to provide the R/C pilot
something to reference while in flight. Little plane, low contrast, easy to
lose reference to it and have it fly away on you. Particularly when it's
moving at speed.

'Losing reference' for an RC model flier usually means losing track of the
model's orientation and pulling 'up' whilst inverted.
More bin bags of Balsa have been filled in that way! :-(
Can get expensive!
