The opening post in this thread has seriously pi**ed me off. Should we be really so pompous about the owners choice of paint scheme? He (or she) has clearly spent some $$ in keeping it airworthy.
Which genuine scheme would you have? the one that was in use when you were associated with it, in which case which scheme would you not have (thus consigning it to the mire of inadequate history). Off the top of my head I think it flew in 5 schemes not counting the display teams.
Maybe grounding Miss Demeanour for being outrageously offensive to Hunter fans?
Should Red Bulls Sea Vixen have refused funding 'cos they wanted a scheme not reflecting the glories of the FAA?
TBH whether you flew for RAFAT or 4FTS is irrelevant. You can't afford to play a part in maintaining this aircraft in flying condition (otherwise you would have referenced the fact), the current owner can.
Be grateful for that.
