Good evening everyone

I’m currently trying to find out the paint / colour code for the Cambridge & Oxford blue which makes up the band on the rear fuselage of RAF Cranwell aircraft.

Could anyone help ?

Best wishes
James

I don't know how helpful this is, but Oxford Blue is Pantone 282.

I have just found a thread and it states

Light blue ( Cambridge) BS 112 = Arctic blue
Dark blue ( Oxford ) BS 108 = Aircraft blue

Oxford Blue is, surprisingly, BS381C 105 Oxford Blue

I beleive 112 is correct for Cambridge blue
