Ah! Sir Philip Sidney. 'Tis good to see thee on these shores again. Hast thou come to fly our Spitfires at those Spanish galleons?

Currently considering a Dora or Thunderbolt, with floats in both cases :mellow:

An Elizabethan Spitfire has to have Black and White colouring, surely.

How about a Thatched "Rufe" :wacko:

Since those in Elizabethan times weren't as savvy on air resistance, might you put the Elizabethan Spitfire's radiator AROUND the cowling, painted white,  like one of those neck ruffles common to the era?  :wacko:

THEN, paint the Spit like a rich, brocaded coat with patterns, gold lace, etc.

'Course, you would have to include a paint with a body stench, too, as bathing was virtually taboo (or was that just the Victorian era?).
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Methinks the fishing wars against the Spanish Marauders may be taking a rather kinky twist  :o :thumbsup:

Either one of those ships paintjobs would fit the bill, Carlos. If you wanted to use the last one, perhaps an overall black scheme with the colored bits on the leading edge of the wings and tail and maybe on top the fuselage?
