Cheers welshandy and Paddyboy!

My camera only produces the goods on a sunny day.
Still these used to be just silhouettes, getting better though. Oh for one of those lenses.....

I believe it's refered to as a wing bird hence the emblems.

I always assumed the CO rode in the bird with the mulit coloured tail top.
However he flew 91-326 red tail late August.

So really I have no idea now

Any one that knows better please let us both know.


An example of the multi coloured tail
