Birmingham Council House dome and flag #2

They look like old photos but neither of them have been made to look like that specially. I can't decide if it's better in colour or black and white though. Please tell me which one is best!

This police helicopter is currently owned by Gryphon Aviation LLP in Cardiff, so I don't know what it was doing in Coventry. On one side it says 'POLICE' and on the other it says 'HEDDLU' (pronounced 'hɛðliː using the IPA) which is Welsh for 'police'.
