Hunter ZZ191 arrived this morning and subsequently towed to the paintshop.

Here is hoping for a nice classic gloss grey / green camo with full colour roundels !!

[PercyPotter]

I think you might be disappointed then

[Doughnut]

Expect I will lol. Although a nice overall black should be acceptable to all concerned, with r/w/b roundels :>)

[Supra]

Which shade of overall Tornado Grey is your favourite? Remember they'll have thousands of litres of it & next to no Tornado jets to paint!
Might get a bonus '100 Year' sticker too? Yaaaaayy

Have just seen a photo of the result on Facebook - Wow is all I can say!

[MRTT]

EDIT: Just seen, what the hel* have they done to that?

ANOTHER missed opportunity.... *sigh*

Good God, that's awful.

[markranger]

I like it.Imagine if we had a aggressor Sqn in those colours.

[EGDR]

I really like that. It may not be authentic but it's not operated as a historical artifact after all.

I guess there was a commercial need for this colour, doesn't look too bad, wonder if it will be one of the pair they bring to RIAT Next week?

Chances are it will be.

[MRTT]

Only got two flying so, pretty much confirmed this'll be one of them.

[Nighthawke]

Reminds me a little bit of the Viggen splinter scheme.Sorry not for me though - it doesn't suit the Hunter's beautiful lines.

[Thunderbolt II]

Like it. Looks like it's doing a job, rather then being a museum piece.

[Snoop 95]

Agree with Nighthawke that the paint scheme does not suit the Hunter.

[Blackjack56]

i agree with Thunderbolt II,i like the scheme but wether you like it or not one of our classic types is still flying and not festering in a museum somewhere.

[Davef68]

I'm intruiged as to the why - they have been operating on MOD/BAE contracts for a while
