The "V" on the tail stand for NAS Valkenburg (or Fliegerhorst Katwijk during WWII). Which was a naval airfield very close to where I live. I can't recall to have seen the Seahawk, but I can remember the Trackers. I have been stationed there for a short period. I was definitely an Air Force guy and I didn't really fit in the Navy with all its strange traditions.

The Seahawk and Tracker squadrons rotated between land-based and carrier-based. When the were on board the HMS Karel Doorman they had the "D" on their tail. There were also helicopters and lang range patrol aircraft based at Valkenburg.

Cheers,
