A note about Hiller colour schemes: yellow, brown and two-tone The first batch of Canadian Hillers were mostly delivered to the Canadian Joint Air Training Centre at Rivers Camp, Manitoba. Three or four (including 10262 and maybe 10261) were delivered in "RCAF" markings, painted trainer yellow. The rest were delivered in gloss brown, marked "CDN ARMY". The ratio of yellow to brown reflected the expected usage of the fleet, but did not reflect the assignment of the individual aircraft. The CJATC fleet was pooled, and used by both RCAF and Army units as required. The Hillers sent to the Canadian Army in Europe were eventually in two-tone camouflage. I think the two-tone scheme was introduced before Integration. As always, I'm counting on my readers to confirm or correct my assumptions.
