There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Mike,
The image behind the door appears (red in a white circle) on ANA aircraft - DC-3, YS-11, Viscount until the late 70's or so but I couldn't find a clear pic. With the introduction of the jets that loaded through the forward door(s) it moved to a similar location up front and somewhere in the 80's got modified to the same symbol in a rectangle with rounded corners. On the YS-11 it stayed near the rear service door.
As it appears only on the port side near the primary entry door I suspect it might be something like the Royal Mail logo that was displayed on British carriers or some similar insignia.
It's quite simple to paint. A red "T" with a red bar of the same width above the top of the T. Not sure of the border colour on the Heron - may be black or a grey/silver.
