At one stage they were indeed green with red bands, it was a temporary measure when we first received the Mk5 from the Junglies onto 771 at Culdrose. They were then gradually changed to the standard scheme over following months.
That one is XT761. I scrambled 6 times in her, including an eight hour "shout" to SKOPELOS SKY for which we received the Hellenic Nautical Medal 1st Class.

Thanks so much to all the team at Historic for keeping her alive, she'll probably outlast me now!
