Can you identify this 206?

I took this (rather poor quality) photo on 6th June 1979 on the occasion of the 200th running of the Epsom Derby. I have other photos of the heliport operations from the same day.

Among my snaps are two JetRangers (of which this is one) which, despite my best efforts, I have been unable to identify.

As can be seen, she is an overall pale olive colour with a broad white stripe covering the lower portion of her fuselage. Her registration is just for'ard of the horizontal stabiliser and painted in gold but .. is unreadable.

The distinguishing feature of this craft is her tail which carries either the French Tricolour or .. as I think more likely, an RAF 'fin flash' and would put the craft (perhaps) in the proximity of a Crab, or an ex-Crab.

Anyone who can cast their mind back to the late 70's and who may recall seeing this craft .. please do let me know!
