Marked Man
Canadian Armed Forces De Havilland(Canada) CC-115 Buffalo '115463' making a tactical STOL approach to RAF Greenham Common during her display at the 1981 International Air Tattoo
Note the manned dayglo marker - possibly to do with the event photography coverage or the flying display orientation
The Buffalo was a much improved version of their earlier and highly successful Caribou - one of many capable STOL (Short Take-Off and landing) designs made by DHC
Based in Europe in support of Canada's NATO commitment, the Buffalo's were superseded by the CC-132 (Dash-7) and later, the CC-142 (Dash-8) but all left for home when the Canadian's eventually pulled their contribution back to mainland Canada after the 'Iron Curtain' came down
