This C172 is owned by an individual that lives about halfway between Popham (EGHP) and "Solent Airport Daedalus" (EGHF), a former military airfield - Lee-on-solent - that is now turned over to civilian use. The aircraft spends more time at Solent than at Popham and I suspect it lives there.

The smaller details of this livery are hard to pin down, so I've stopped a bit short of where I'd like to be. The nose design at the front of the cowling is tricky since the option to "map to both sides" doesn't always work well in this area - so it's not symmetrical.

The rear fuselage stripe also stops broadening and flattens out as it heads to the tailplane, and this is also surprisingly difficult to get right. I might come back to it one distant day, if I feel like torturing myself.
