Yes Day-glo paint, but still very bright I remember on this one. Day-glo could be very 'orangy' but sometimes became quite 'reddish'.
I do see two unit emblems on the nose, but on the other side was just the Electronics School one I believe.



I even took a cu of it.



Did RAF units do 'graffiti attacks' on others' aircraft, as was common in the Far East for visitors to Australia and New Zealand? Loads of the planes at Changi turned up with kangaroos and kiwis on their noses. This sometimes stretched to unit badges as well.
