Out of curiosity, which of our C.5's was it?

Thanks, Pete, appreciated.

Newspapers are spot on, the £900,000 covers the design, development and application of the paint scheme, nothing else, no servicing, no VIP interior fitment, that was already onboard. Thanks, Tony, I know you're a pretty good source for info, but unless that's from the horse's mouth, I'll reserve j...

Slightly off piste, has any of the F-35 pilots adopted “Greased” as their callsign?

So do you think RL-202 still exists Andy?

Nah. It would be sat at Cosford if it did, even if it was in bits.....

As a bit of a space geek, I already knew about the Avro engineers going on to work for NASA when the Arrow project was cancelled, but it's still a very interesting article. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200615-the-record-breaking-jet-which-still-haunts-a-country?utm_source=pocket-n...

Some newspapers are saying a large part of the cost was the fee paid to the design company the Gov employed to come up with the livery. Don't believe what you read, it's just poo-stirring. Unfortunately that's what happens when you PFI something, the consultancy fees are bigger than the costs to do...

I think this aircraft was fitted out a few years ago, it's been used by government officials since around 2017 I believe! This paint job is an add on and one of Boris's vanity projects, because he can! Aye, I think there were still some significant upgrades to what was already on Board as part of t...

Reading this thread,I see a figure of £100K being mentioned instead of the £900K quoted in the media(the £900K is Still being reported by my BBC local Radio this morning). Which is right? I doubt 900k would of been just for paint. It probably has a new interior as well. The whole aircraft has proba...

A link to the aircrafts role and use by the RAF dates today. https://www.raf.mod.uk/news/articles/vip-raf-voyager-ready-for-global-role/ I get why all this has been done, even if the timing is a little off with everything that's going on, and Boris rattling his monkey cage (which is offensive to mo...

What looks like an afterthought is the "ZZ336" in enormous bold lettering!

Agree about the roundel, but generally it's ok.

How long do you reckon we can keep this going for?

Thank you. I haven't laughed so much in ages! STOP! CARRY ON! :thumb: Sorry everyone, but this is much more interesting than some paint going on a aeroplane...........

The whole corporatisation of the RAF was one of the reasons I left.....

I loved your Radio 1 show with Mark Radcliffe, especially the 'Animal Sanctuary' and 'Missing Words' parts of the shows.

I enjoyed doing Fat Harry White the most.......
