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.airliners.net/search/photo.search?regsearch=ZA707
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
