Gazelle reverts back to military marks.....

Unusually, G-ZZLE Westland Gazelle SA.341-C HT.2 has reverted back to military markings & now wears XX436.

The only photo's I have of it when in service show it was painted red\white Royal Navy scheme & marked 39 with a Shark and CU on the tail denoting it was part of the Sharks display fleet, I'm not sure it ever saw service with the Royal Marines, but it has now been repainted from it's civilian purple to military grey\green camoflague.

Noted today at Bourne Park.
