Any image and info about this machine?

Only thing that I could find is already written on Airliners.net:
ZA707/EV (cn MA-019/B-837) RAF No. 7 Sqn.
still in it's special operations markings used in the Gulf conflict
picture taken at Mildenhall, May 26, 1991

Here you have some more pics of the same machine, some in the same cammo:

http://www.abpic.co.uk/search.php?q=ZA707&u=reg

Here is comment of a guy that took a pic:
"the Chinook's were obviously painted in the UK Desert Pink scheme and most likely black undersides, but when I saw ZA707 EV at RAF Mildenhall the ' mottled ' paint on the fuselage sides i'm pretty sure was a very and I mean VERY dark green almost black ( one of those things you make a mental note of at the time ). This "mottle" was applied with ordinary paint brushes and looked very hap-hazard.
My photo ( at Mildenhall ) was taken from the port side and the crew door was open and had no door gun fitted and no gun mounted on the rear door.
Although at other times I have seen miniguns fitted to the front window ( starb. side ) cannot remember if i've seen one on the door, as for the ramp I have seen GPMG's in this location on a couple of times." (quoted from http://cs.finescale.com/FSMCS/forums/p/2562/19437.aspx)
Also here, pick http://www.dstorm.eu/pages/en/gb/chinook.html
Here you have the list of modifications applied to Desert Storm Chinooks: http://www.dstorm.eu/pages/en/gb/chinook_config.html

Hope to be of some help :) :-wave

 :-tri :-wave :-wave :-wave :-wave nice work as usually! I wonder why this one is designated CH-47 and one with specific camo on photo is HC1B, and others on Profa's links HC2. Why first CH, and after HC  :-think :-think :-think

Final for this turn ;)

Post by: Letipapa on May 26, 2010, 08:06:14 PM

Huh, this camouflage is so "jumping" that somehow it interacts with visual perception of volume of an aircraft, especially there around rear side engines (or this are  some parts of the engines). Like it needs some darker shadow on the hull so this parts can be more vivid. I don't know, this is just my impression, and it could be that I am completely wrong. :-think Camouflage is incredible :-ok

Anyway, hard and good work! :-clap :-clap :-clap :-wave
