Early JetRanger Paint Schemes

Yes the early schemes weren't bad. That particular scheme was (to the best of my knowledge) Bell's original production pattern (adopted by Agusta). As Agusta stuck with this layout Bell modified theirs (examples below):


The 'Agusta' scheme (adopted from Bell's initial production run) was maintained throughout Agusta's deliveries of 206's. Ferranti adopted the scheme in 'Dijon yellow' for their JetRanger fleet with accents in chocolate


Bell's second scheme seen here on Lord Hanson's private mount G-AZRU


Another popular Bell scheme was seen on Tommy Sopwith's 206 G-BASE
