Livery for the Restauravia STAMPE SV.4 v1.0


This is a livery for the STAMPE SV.4 v1.0 (Maître d’oeuvre : André Chancel) - downloadable at Restauravia
The livery is based on a paint scheme used by the Rothmans Aerobatic Team.

Late in the 1960s, it was becoming increasingly difficult for tobacco companies to advertise their products due to pressure over long term health issues. As advertising by the usual means ( TV, billboards, newspapers, etc) became impossible, two submissions were made to Rothmans of Pall Mall for the creation of an aerobatic team. As the aircraft would be owned by Rothmans themselves, they were naturally entitled to put their name on each aircraft.

The winning submission came from Michael 'Manx' Kelly - it was rumoured that the two bids were very close, but Rothmans liked the insertion of a contingency buffer in the Kelly costings. Thus Kelly Aeroplane Ltd was formed and a base was secured at Booker (Wycombe Air Park) airfield.

A team of four vintage Stampe bi-planes piloted by a group of the country's best aerobatic fliers performed at air displays throughout Great Britain. Leader of the Rothmans Aerobatic Team was Squadron Leader "Manx" Kelly, who retired from the Royal Air Force and set up the new aerial equipped for Rothmans. The team made their debut at the West London Air Display.

At the beginning, Stampe SV4 aircraft were obtained. 
G-AXYW was powered by a Gypsy engine with the Rollason fuel conversion for inverted flight
G-AYCK, G-AYGR and G-AXYZ were powered by the Renault engine.

There are 4 identical liveries, the only differences are the call signs and the numbers on the tail.
