Sorry I can't help but I would think MOD or Hydealfred would be your best bet on this forum - not sure who else may have any.

This is what the image is based upon!

It shows the three yellow arrows eminating from three red jets on a dark blue background. ;)


As worn by the crews of the Strike & Fighter Test Sqn, A&AEE Boscombe Down ;) ;)
