Woco Paint Used to Restore WW2 Aircraft Lost in Jungle

In 1943, 11 US servicemen took off on a reconnaissance mission during  the Second World War, but they failed to return to their base, as their plane crashed in the jungle of Papua New Guinea.

Over 40 years later, the plane was salvaged from the jungle and brought to the UK. We were delighted to have played a part in the restoration of this WW2 Douglas Boston aircraft.

The customer only has a small workshop so decided to restore the nose section of the plane and mount on a trailer so it  can be exhibited at various air shows. The customer chose our Woco Supercote paint in ‘Dark Earth’ (BS450) and Dark Green (BS241) to restore the aircraft to its original condition.

They were delighted with the paint and commented that the product was of high quality and sprayed very well.
