The gripe about the Tutor, which I've not flown, is far more basic. It's not painted like an RAF aircraft, and looks far too much like a weekend flier's steed as a result. Why can't they have a colour scheme that is a bit more military?
And why isn't it on the military register? Is it legal to have military markings on a civil registered aircraft?

And it can't have a military colour scheme because the carbon fibre doesn't like absorbing too much heat - allegedly (not sure how that fits with TypHoon and GR7/9 having carbon fibre bits though!!!)

Wasn't the Bulldog 30 seconds inverted once the inverted oil system had been fitted?
