Nice photo :thumb:

But with regards to the extra attachment: Wow - mindblowing :whistle:

Looks like the RAF are going all out for the 100th anniversary. First the Typhoon and now this.....

Doh! The half-arsed Corporate sticker is there! Don't you see the Red background & quarter roundel on top of the whole one? :whistle:
The tailfin has always looked unfinished on this scheme & by leaving any '100th' markings off it.....still does! :O
Austerity aside, this is a pathetic display for a significant Anniversary. National pride....NOT! :blush:

Nice photo :thumb:
Maybe the sad 'RAF 100' decal has nothing to do with the anniversary but is intended to show how many operational aircraft the RAF has this year.:whistle: I guess we'll find out in July. :unsure:

Can only hope something better being held back for later but if what we have seen so far is the best the RAF can do then maybe they should just forget the whole thing.

Nice catch. Methinks they've been and got a job lot of 100 stickers. I fear Freeman's speculation may not be that far fetched!

That is poor... very poor.

So disappointed that with the 100th anniversary that the horrible coporate logo, and this attempt is the best they can come up with...
