thorfinn Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 A curious 'colonial's' question for UK rortorheads: I've found myself much-taken with the striking Scottish Charities livery for the old Bo105C air ambulances, and am contemplating trying to whip up my own inkjet-printed markings for the A-Model 1/72 kit. In a by-no-means-comprehensive search, I've found (1) off-angle photo of the real aircraft -- and several of a manufacturer's wooden display model -- showing what looks like a 'gear wheel' logo at the base of the boom. [The model shows it both port and starboard; the 'real' photo shows only the stbd. side.] Due to is rarity in photos, it may well be a short-lived or discontinued marking. I can't find a clear photo, but it seems to be lacking the traditional trappings of any kind of government or local-council administrative insignia...and the SCAA logo is prominently displayed elsewhere...so I was wondering if some keen eye might recognize what may well be a common marking on 'your side of the pond.' The marking in question: Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for your sharp eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
