In 2007 the SAR Station at the German island of Borkum in the North Sea celebrated its 30th anniversary. For this reason the airbrush artist Peer Elshoff was chosen to decorate a UH-1D from the Transport Wing, Lufttransportgeschwader 63, LTG 63 at Hohn with his magnificent work. He did his job nearly without any stencils. Peer also was responsible for the paining of the German Navy Sea King special colours during recent years SAR Meets.

The UH-1D sports some famous landmarks from northern Germany on both sides and the Wings badge bee symbol. Also the badge of the 2.Squadron is painted on the bottom of the Huey’s fuselage.
