326 is out of hours (nearly) - planned to be retired at the end of the year. I too have heard nothing about the paint scheme changing - I'd be particularly surprised if 326 was to be re-painted before it gets put on a stick/in a museum.
Concur with BE about the Gripens - a lovely idea, but that's about all it will come to (although I'd love, in this case, to be proven wrong.....).
