Re: RAF 100 ZK318
Really pushed the boat out with this scheme for such a special anniversary!!!
Re: RAF 100 ZK318
Pathetic, truly pathetic, and before anyone trots out the usual, hackneyed old line of, 'well at least it's better than nothing...', no it's not better than nothing! If this is the best that be can done to mark such a landmark occasion in the RAF's history, then they really shouldn't have bothered...

Not usually one to join in with the negativity, but god, that's lame. Really, really lame. It's embarrassing. Does whoever came up with that logo realise that Army=red RAF=light blue?

April the 1st is only two days away, maybe there's method in this madness
Re: RAF 100 ZK318
To echo all the comments thus far, this is an embarrassment for the RAF.

Looks like an airfix kit sticker.
Re: RAF 100 ZK318
They should definitely put more effort into it like the french did to the rafale that was at RIAT 2017. that was truly something to look at
Re: RAF 100 ZK318
Given the superb Battle of Britain camo on Typhoon in 2015, this is err, somewhat of a disappointment (...if of course this is "it" in terms of special schemes for the 100th anniversary...)

Same markings are on the Marham gate guards.
Re: RAF 100 ZK318
I'm somewhat optimistic about this - I have a strong feeling that we will see a spectacular paint job alongside this on another Typhoon.
Just imagine if we had been told this was only the backup display aircraft...we'd all be more mellow about it

Re: RAF 100 ZK318
I'm also convinced that this is not the final special scheme. If they produced GiNA for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain they're bound to do an all over scheme for the RAF 100th.

Think the RAF need to give the RAAF a ring,
So we have something worthwhile to look at. Their 6sqd
Hornet is awesome. Raf must do better!

Re: RAF 100 ZK318
Truly a very poor show.
Looks like Photoshop in all the pictures i've seen... as in the red panel looks like jpeg! Has anybody else actually SEEN it?

Re: RAF 100 ZK318
IF (and I say IF), this is what we have after 100 proud and honourable years, it is nothing short of shamefully woeful.
Having spent just shy of 40yrs in light blue myself, with great pride, I find this embarrassing.
I bet they draw short straws to see who flies this on any ceremonials.
I hope we see something more deserving...

I can confirm the picture is genuine. The aircraft was out on the line on Wednesday morning.

Re: RAF 100 ZK318
Oh Dear..
I just hope that this is the reserve aircraft for RAF100.
If it goes down to Yeovilton,It will see the Canadian CF-188.
I would be a embarrassment.
Even Portugal had a nice looking AlphaJet for it's retirement.
This looks to me like a exercise to sell stuff from the RAF100 collection
