898 zapped.

When 898 Squadron zapped the USMC F-4 with their tail markings, VMF-531 maintainers returned the favor by replacing the fuselage roundels with pre-WW2 US star markings on the Skipper's bird XV590 R/001 when the squiadron wore the Jubilee markings. They also painted out "Royal Navy" on the flanks and replaced it with "Colonial Navy". There is a decal sheet in existance of these markings.
