What colour scheme was used for the Gladiators in Malta? I've heard that there were both RAF and FAA aircraft used, and that their colour schemes differed. Any ideas? |

Well you kind of answer your won question: the FAA Sea Gladiators would have had the gray and olive scheme. Here's a picture of the fuselage of one: link and a color drawing: link The RAF flew some of the FAA Gladiators -- the semi-apocryphal Faith, Hope and Charity, and they had some Hurricanes as well. |

I believe all the Maltese Gladiators were Sea Gladiators that had the FAA colour schemes. Phil |
