Wafu Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi to all Britmodellers but especially our Italian friends. I have a question about the Forestale NH500 and Hughes 369 helicopter markings.me what the crest is on the back of the vertical tail fin? The same crest is on the water plane when used by the Forestale. It it seems to be an Eagle with something crossed under it, a Dark Green banner over the top and edged in Goldern Yellow. Thanks in advance. The Woo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Do you mean the insignia on the tail ? If so it's a red shield with green banner on top containing the crest of the Corps, a golden eagle holding two crossed axes. On the engine cowling they carried the insignia of the Corpo Forestale air service, that can be seen here: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servizio_aereo_del_Corpo_forestale_dello_Stato I say carried as starting in 2017 the Corpo Forestale dello Stato (state forrests corps, the full definition of the service) ceased to exist and its roles are now undertaken by a specialised sector of the Carabinieri 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Giorgio thanks for your speedy info. It's the Golden Eagle crest I was looking at. Thanks for your help. Woo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Glad to help ! I forgot to link the crest of the Corpo Forestale, it was this: http://www.siap-polizia.org/it/sezione/posts/8941/dpcm-mobilita-personale-corpo-forestale-dello-stato.htm Of course it is possible that the insignia on the tail carried a simplified variant of the crest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
