Dakota crest identifcation

Can anyone help identify the crest on the tail of these two which were photographed at West Freugh? It doesn’t seem to have been worn for very long.

Many thanks for that Iain, I really appreciate it.

I don’t suppose you still have the original photos which show it in more detail?

Hi Inkworm,
As the photographer of the Dakotas at West Freugh, I can confirm that the crest was that of EQD ( Electrical Quality Assurance Directorate ). The crest was worn when the Dakotas were contracted to EQD for sonobuoy batch testing throughout the 1970s.
HTH,
iain.
