Because of continuous rebellions, several coup attempts, and the Confrontation with the Netherlands over West New Guinea/Papua, the majority of Indonesian combat aircraft of the period between the mid-1950s to mid-1960s were painted in olive drab overall. This appears to have been the case with the small fleet of AURI Grumman UF-1 (also HU-16A or SA-16A) Albatross amphibians, as shown in the main artwork. Alternative reports indicate that the original livery in dark grey (FS35164) was extended overall, covering the white that had been applied on the top fuselage and parts of the fin (as shown inset). Serial PB517 is known to have received the large title ‘Badal’ on the fin, apparently applied in yellow. Nominally, the Indonesians deployed their Albatrosses for search and rescue purposes, however, at least as often they were used for tracking the movement of Royal Navy warships.
