Once again thanks for the shared thoughts and feedback.
The reason I’m trying to get some information relates to one of the roles that I assist with at NAM and this involves responding to ‘comments & complaints’.
It’s always good to try and be ahead of the game on such matters and as they’ve already had ‘incoming comments’ about the markings since they were reapplied; I felt it prudent to make a few enquiries.
It can also provide some fascinating insights into the service career of individual airframes. Recent feedback has come in regarding the Operation Heliotrope markings on the Hastings. I’ve been led to believe that for the first Heliotrope markings, the mouth of the fish was closed – however following the success of the film Jaws, these DayGlo fish were reapplied with their mouths open as ‘homage’ to the film!
With that thought in mind I pondered whether some ‘wag’ on 54 Squadron had similar ideas re-the Squadron markings on XX829?
