The top of the cab and the top of the tailboom (the TR shaft cover, I presume) are actually painted a yellow colour. A very similar yellow to the SAR Whirlwinds actually, so maybe the airframe is a composite of several aircraft.

After a quick bit of googling, it would appear that the same airframe made an appearance at this year's Glastonbury festival: Glastonbury 2009 - Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums
