Something different. This Hellfire from the Commemorative Air Force was repainted in incorrect colors. But the finflash made me really wonder if they ever did some research.
No, unfortunately, Gerard, I can’t help you.
All I know is that striped roundels were used on aircraft since the Independance (Mig-15 on B/W pictures are stationed on a Libyan airfield, pending their arrivals), but I don’t know for how long.PS : since we are on the Algerian issue, have you note the thin blue circle outside some algerian roundels ??

that is new to me. interesting. Have to look at my pictures.
No Gerard, well seen. I had’nt noticed, till now, the difference in bars….but looking in my other pictures, here are two others that show these inversions and slight differences :
I think the one on the helo (Hughes 269??) is the same as on the Beech. it is the three colored one as the one on the MiGs has two colors. (It might be three colors too but with a very narrow red band. )
on a model:
Swiss F-5E crashed in the Netherlands near AFB Leeuwarden

Possible mid-air collision! Pilot ejected but injured with the landing in a glasshouse. Patrouille de Suisse is attending the Open Days at the AFB.
