Help needed for Avro Avian G-AAYW

Hello there. This is my very first post on scale-models.co and I am begging already!
Is there any definitive colour info for the Avro Avian monoplane 625 registration G-AAYW? I read elsewhere on scale-models of the aircraft being used as a military trainer during the war and a picture of a model of this. Are there any photos of the real thing?

Regards

Pat

Hello Pat,the colour of the Avro Avian Monoplane G-AAYW was light pea green overall with white registration letters,the aircraft is believed to have been camouflaged when used by the ATA at Elmdon after being impressed ?
the aircraft was presented to the Air Training Corps and eventually unceremounsly burnt and pushed into a lake where she resides to this very day underground.
There are a few pictures extant but non in colour,only a handful of the monoplane version were built.
