The pale underside grey for Cold War RAF aircraft. RAF Light Aircraft Grey covered the lower surfaces of RAF tactical aircraft, bombers and interceptors — Phantom, Tornado F.3, Nimrod, Canberra PR.9, Victor and VC10 tankers among them — from the 1960s into the 1980s. If you build post-war British jets, this is the colour underneath.
