That's a beauty, Steve.  A great paint finish, especially the natural metal, and an interesting scheme.  Those Irish Air Corps roundels have to be some of the most attractive ever to adorn an aircraft.  I wonder how the 'Yin and Yang' style came about.

The two colour style was called the "Celtic Boss" and was based on ancient Celtic designs. The three colour version in use today is known as the triskelion.

Cracking Hurri. Nice to see it in IAC markings. 

 

I’m thinking of doing my Walrus in an Irish scheme, it’s working its way slowly to the workbench.

And related to the "Three Legged" logo used on the Isle of Man flag.
