The artwork on the 31(C) jets was not on them until near the end of the war and the 2 weeks after before the Sqn returned home. We did stick a load of purple hearts on "DH" after its massive ABDR repair, but some nutter put a profanity about Saddam of the jet and we had to paint everything out. Bhahrain Sqns led the field in all the Artwork to be quite honest.
