ETPS RJ70 @ Cranfield 28/1/19

Post by alhenderson » Tue Jan 29, 2019 9:28 am

Hopefully this just scrapes into the 'Military' category. ETPS/Qinetiq RJ70 QQ102 arrived at Cranfield a few weeks ago for a spot of attention. Whilst here, its been re-registered as G-ETPK and yesterday morning was the first time I've seen it marked as such. Part of Qinetiq's drive to move to an all civilian fleet.

Well Caught Alistair.
Is it getting a new livery?

Not sure. If they do, it won't be done at Cranfield. Trying to see if the registration is a temporary looking sticker, but its hard to tell from those pictures.

Well caught in nice light.

I notice they have removed the RAF roundel from the front, and also (most of :roll: ) the red, white, blue stripe from the tail!!

So they have! Bit more effort required on the tail, though. Guess that's it 'de-militarised' :-)

Maybe a respray is in order to bring it in line with their newer toys:
