I have found a piccie of MH434 wearing CK-D and it is from West Malling in August 1990.
This was carried as both an RAF and Belgium Air Force scheme at different times, can't remember the reasoning for it though.
I also have a picture of her wearing AV-H, it is a colour image at an airshow with a fun fair in the background so I would imagine that it is from a fairly recent(?) Biggin Hill Air Fair.
WO-A was also worn. I think PL965 was being operated by the OFMC at the time and it wore WO-F for their parts in filming "A Piece of Cake"
Also wore SZ-G at one time. Polish RAF squadron, don't know the sqn number sorry. Did carry the title "City of Warsaw" and artwork of a bulldog wearing boxing gloves.
Another Polish scheme worn was PK-K.
Another scheme was AC-S with a duck-egg blue spinner. This was an fairly early scheme maybe before it was operated by the Old Flying Machine Company.
Hope this helps
