That looks good, makes me think that a Typhoon would look good in overall Nivo.

Well done King Air chaps and chapesses for taking the time to create a display team this year and for finding the money and effort to create the display paint scheme. I'm sure the many displays you'll fly this year will require personal as well as professional time and energy but I know they'll be worth waiting for so I look forward to seeing a great RAF display later in the summer.

Already been posted on this forum. One of three possible designs I think for the display King Air.
Winning design was of the Camel I believe.

King Air has been scrubbed for this season, posted on Twitter
We're really sad to break the news that King Air won't be gracing the display circuit in '16. Sorry to let you all down folks. #devastated

I wonder if the latest revisions to the CAA display guidelines/rules have scuppered the display practiced, now no time to make and practice changes.
After all, I would have thought the display was devised by RAF instructor pilots and would not have been deemed as unsafe at the time.
Any thoughts anybody?

I think they had their Authorisation flights recently, so, it may be the reason that the man who says yes has looked and said no.
Have to say I do enjoy the King Air displays.
