The FAP acquired a total of 16 de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo transports during the early 1970s and these were all assigned to ET.842 (GA.8), home-based at Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias. All wore the same, standardised camouflage pattern in middle stone (BS381C/362) and dark brown (BS381C/411) on top surfaces and sides, and light aircraft grey (BS381C/627) on undersurfaces. If applied, the insignia of GA.8 was on the left side below the cockpit (sometimes accompanied by a silhouette of a buffalo in white), and sometimes repeated on the fin. Small black serials were applied below the fin flash. The serial was repeated on the upper surface of the right wing, and the roundels applied on the upper surface of the left and the lower surface of the right wing. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
