CRAB's Ride
Amazing what you can do with one roll of 'arry black maskers
Where did you get that photo from Ned? Must have been from a Navy hangar somewhere
Now if you know the tail number, I can tell if I flew it or not.

If it's anything like the temporary registrations I've had botch taped to my aircraft after they have been off loaded from a ship I would imagine that they would fall off after two minutes in the cruise.
I'll have a trawl through the log books to see if I have flown 589.
I only flew at Lossie on a Standards visit so it is more likely to be St Mawgan or Valley..
First flew `589` at CU on SKTU in Feb `80`;last flew it in Feb `84` at Finn.as last RAF helo I flew..back to FW...
But you have to allow the junior practitioners in milSAR some leeway - if it makes them feel better by defacing the aircraft...........
I flew 589 at Valley in 2004

One of the FAA's most successful such efforts was the car sticker of the early 70s that found its way onto many thousands of vehicles, many of whose owners had no idea of its full meaning. It read "Fly Navy, Dig Army, Eat Crab".
I am fully aware of the FAA's sense of humour. Especially where they marked up 100% profit on the beer that the Beverlys dropped for the ratings in Borneo; and it wasn't going to charity.

Actually I was there and drank the beer and we raised many thousands for charity. There was a mark up for just that reason. (and it wasn't just for the ratings!!)
