oz, its to show its military, but those particular birds are flown in the likes of Canada and Malaysia, i believe its for flying through the likes of canyons and ridges, for visibillity

Could be wrong though

Greta shots but what is the point of camouflaging the big Bell (?) machine and then painting the engine compartment in a hi-viz paint? I don’t really “do” military stuff so I’m just curious.

Hi Wiseman,

The Apache is ZJ210 and does carry full ARMY titles… just a trick of the light as they are black on the olive green so difficult to read Honest!!

Cliff

I believe you. I guess I wasn’t expecting such a discreet identification.
Anyway, nice shot of a nasty looking beast.
Thanks.

Great pix. Thank you.
Just curious, the Army Apache has no markings at all?
