Green-white-black roundel with red sector over the outer two disks. The sector is apparently not with center in the center of the roundel, but in the lowermost point of the black disk, covering approximately 30 degrees towards top. Source: Album des Pavillons 2000. A note explains that the Union flag is painted on the fin. According to Cochrane and Elliot 1998 this marking is used since 1976, before that Abu Dhabi used another roundel 1968-1976 (red-white-sand colour with green inscription) and Dubai used two: 1971-1974 (coat-of-arms-like emblem) and 1974-1976 (same emblem on white disk bordered red).

The Abu Dhabi Army Air Wing of the Abu Dhabi Defense Forces was formed in
1968, became Abu Dhabi AF in 1976 and united into UAE AF in 1976. Air Wing of
the Union Dubai Defense Force Wing was formed in 1971 and united into UAE AF in
1976. Both used national flag as fin flash. ADAF marking can be seen at

marking can be seen in use at

all-black low visibility roundel as seen at

an anchor on a white disc - see

flag on tail with the white stripe charged with the coat of arms - see
