Nope, real pics, this is what's known in the business as "Zapping".

Hi Guys,

Here's some more info on the pics from the photographer:

Further to Pym's post I probably aught to point out that the only sight these pics saw of photoshop was for resizing.  The story behind this is that during Yeovilton's flying display last month, the IAC Allouette crew got busy in the static park with some IAC roundel decals, I snapped these on the way back to the car park. Classic "zapping" of someone else's aircraft, amused me muchly.

Good stuff guys !! 'thumbsup'

(...tho I reckon they should also have put the roundel on the Gazelle's window (as per the Puma) - easier to remove without possible paintwork damage)

Hi here, would it be possible to send the same crew next year to Farnborough? Armed with about 200 IAC roundels? Along with the AWR??!!! And let them do their business on Friday night! Can you imagine the agents from Homeland Security walking around at 0600h looking at the aircraft & then contacting Washington saying: 'George, we gotta talk!'!!!! 'pilot_cheesy'
