Funbus repaint

I was in MoD on one of the AT/AAR desks when the Funbus received its new paint job and BEagle is quite right, despite all Boscombe's calculations there was no problem found in Nevada. However, the story did not stop there. Having redone all their calculations several times over the Boscombe narks still could not understand the result and wanted another trial (to last several weeks) in somewhere else exotic and at our expense. If memory serves it was Snake who dissuaded them by the simple process of asking about sex and travel, closely followed by a NO as we had a much better use for the airframe on operational tasking.
