Specialy marked Chinook

[RickIngham]

There are two with "30th anniversary" markings on the aft 'pylon' - ZA714/AV and ZH895/HJ

Have these logos subsequently been altered ? I grabbed a couple of photos of a HC2 near Hook this afternoon, presumably on approach to Odiham, and having enlarged them (it was not very close), there appears to be a large red/white/blue "flag" (in bands) on the rear pylon (starboard side). However, I can't see the 30th Anniversary logo and roundel which I presume should be at the rear of the pylon on this side, or any wording. Of course I may have seen an entirely different aircraft but I'm not aware of a HC2 with such markings.

Hi,
Here is a picture of the Anniversary marks,

Ta.

It's probable I saw one of this pair then. I've only got and seen photo's of the markings on the other side of the pylon before and had assumed the "30 year" roundel would be at the other end. The distance and "haze" of yesterdays shot makes it impossible to see if the blue and white bands contain words.

This aircraft always seems to evade me!
