The matt black 'SZ' was used in the movie version of Freddy Forsyths' 'The Fourth Protocol'. Mike Murphy got to fly under the Humber Bridge (legally)

There is an apocryphal story relating to the water-soluble paint they used for the temporary colour scheme. It was supposedly washable-offable with a small power hose and a toothbrush but allegedly it was left out on the Bristow hangar ramp over one of the hottest weekends of the year and required a full strip and respray (or maybe just a respray) Maybe someone can can confirm or deny?
