tiger331 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 There is being prepared decals for Westland Wessex by one smal "garage" company. They would like to make australian Wessex from 816. Sqn, but the cannot find a good resolution picture of the Squadron crest. Can anybody help? Or if there is a good idea with good sources for any other interesting Wessex, try to contact me. Many thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 816 uses the standard RAN squadron crest format, with the tiger's face. Any RAN crest art is identical save for the tiger and the inscription. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tiger331 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes, I know, but the best resolution, which I found is this one: http://117.55.225.121/File:Crest_816sqn.gif And this is not good enough to draw a decal... It should be far better quality source... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heloman Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes, I know, but the best resolution, which I found is this one: http://117.55.225.121/File:Crest_816sqn.gif And this is not good enough to draw a decal... It should be far better quality source... In the book Squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm by Ray Sturtivant, there is a b&w drawing of the crest. I can take a pic and email it to you, if so let me have your details Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I know it's a patch, but how about THIS? Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tiger331 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Yes, thanks to Ray- problem solved. There will be also option for RAF 22. Sqn XT601 - the yellow Wessex on which I flew in RAF Valley in 1994... Edited February 19, 2013 by tiger331 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
