Does it still have the green cross for the first aid kit on the side? That if I remember came about when it was pointed out that you were forbidden to fire on aircraft carrying the Red Cross markings and as it being military they should not really be carrying them, so they were all changed to green to get around it.

The red cross, red crescent and red crystal are symbols of protection.

International law protects the people who wear them, and the buildings and transport which display them.

These people aren’t part of a conflict – they’re simply there to help anyone who needs it.

The emblems are not religious symbols.
