No, no strange ideas about advertising.
It can be tastefully done and not full in your face like the Sea Vixen.
Breitling got full exposure by sponsoring the Breitling Fighters and they did not have to have repaint the aircraft in their colours to do it or put massive Breitling logo's on the Aircraft.
Red Bull are now sponsoring the DC-6 that is now in Europe, yes they have their logo's on the Aircraft but it is still kept in its original colours and the logo's are not that big, so why could that have not been done for the Sea Vixen, kept in original colours with just a couple of logo's like the DC-6.
As for Formular 1 advertising there is no comparison, F1 are modern racing cars not vintage and classic cars, can you imagin anyone letting Red Bull sponsor a 1920s Le Mans Blower Bentley and painting it in their colours and slapping a big red bull on it.
I think ozplane we will have to agree to disagree on this one, I think the Sea Vixen looks dreadful and could have been done so much better
