Afternoon all, a quick pop in to Thruxton yesterday produced the following, of course quite a bit wasn't readable due to aircraft in the way etc. ADQ has SE-KIL PA28 wreck arriving here a couple of months back, does anyone know if this is on a trailer with the 2 wings on top of the fuselage?

PA24 RED/WHITE NO MARKINGS? Seems to have been a recent respray.

Cheers

Hi Dylan, this is its last known scheme, might help with an ID? The only based PA24 is G-DISK but I appreciate it could have come from anywhere for a paint job.

Hi both
The PA-24 could be almost anything if unmarked and possibly re-sprayed.
However, G-AXMA PA-24 has been logged here before and is/was in a red and white scheme.

Cheers

Evening,

For the PA28, honestly I couldn't tell you what the colours were other than white/grey, it was on a trailer stacked up with the wings above the fuselage and it was facing all but directly at us, thus couldn't get the angle on it to identify. I'm sure it was for reborn aviation as they're big time in the restoration of Cherokees (looking at their FB page). A mystery for another day methinks - and lesson learnt always take pics!!

Speaking of pictures, I've attached a (rubbish zoomed in) picture of the PA24 in question. It looks different to the red/white one Phil mentions, however as you say it could be anything after a respray. DISK was at Turweston for years I'm pretty sure in the car park opposite Mick Allen's I believe, sporting an all white scheme - again, could well be this one with a fresh lick of paint. 

Cheers for the suggestions, I will update if I find out anything more...
