This is an unusual camouflage, but it existed. It was the camouflage of RAF transport aircrafts, supposedly on routes outside Europe. As in such cases the flight was often over the sea, the marine colours Dark Slate Grey / Extra Dark Sea Grey were chosen, supplemented on the lower surfaces with Azure Blue. I have already seen a transport version of the Stirling in this camouflage. Well, after I found out that the Yorks in 1945 flew mainly long-range routes due to their long range, the choice was clear... ;-)
