Hell No!!
I'm gonna get it checked first ;-)
I can't recall us ever having 'Flag' markings on any of the helo flights embarked on smaller ships I've served on although if my memory hasn't gone down the pan, we
may have had Capt F7 above HMS ANDROMEDA on the nose of our Lynx. That
is only a mabe though
Certainly, Blake never had it on any of the 4 Seakings when FOF2 was embarked and neither did our Wessex on Norfolk when we were COMSTANAVFORLANT. The FAA are a funny bunch though :gigle:

Thanks a lot for the info and access to the Warpaint details - a lot to digest here and try out regarding the right shade of dark blue. I will also await Dave's efforts to check the accuracy of the Warpaint info - I won't be touching any more repaints for a week or so, so no rush at all.
Cheers,
Steve

Rgr that Steve
My source is away for the weekend but I should learn by Monday evening ;-)
The colour plate has a ref number for the COD blue but it means little to me I'm afraid :-( I'll have another look at the scan and try to bring it inline with the print (these were done some years ago for one of the 'aborted' Gannet projects)
