Violet Picture was more a UHF homer, tied into whichever main UHF set we had (from ARC52 to whatever the last one was). Had it on the Shack, Whirlwind and Wessex, (and Sea King?) and very useful for homing to any UHF signal, not just PLB on 243mhz.
As for Blue Silk on the Shackleton - 'Four Miles, Bomb Doors Open, Blue Silk to memory'. The never to be forgotten radar target homing call!
