The first a/c is at LTN and has had the decals fitted (G-OZBT).
May not be the final fit, as l have heard that the bosses might want the main name and Spotty M on the fuse bigger.
My opinion is it does not look right, should have left alone.
Aircraft l think is due in service tomorrow.

Should have extended yellow up the tail as a background for Spotty M
and just left a larger Monarch.co.uk on the fuselage.
The 2 Spotty M's on the tail and fuselage just doesn't look right.
And the pink, blue and yellow PR material looks cheap and nasty
.
Looks like a 5 year old has entered a Blue Peter drawing competition
and come last

The fuselage spotty M is does look ridiculous. Either either have it as the M on Monarch or don't have it. The symbol isn't needed twice though. It's like Ryanair have more than one harp per side of aircraft!

As much as I like the aircraft, how much life does the A300 have left with Monarch. Over the past few years, these aircraft have spent most of the time transporting the masses to and from Greece, Turkey and Egypt. With the Olympic Holidays contract 'lost', and the political unrest in Egypt severely denting demand for flights/holidays to the country, the A300s and A330s are now spending most of their time on scheduled flights to Cyprus, Spain and the Canaries.
I'd hate to see Monarch get rid of the A300s, but with their change in strategy towards becoming a scheduled carrier, surely they will be surplus to requirement. The few scheduled flights that do warrant 350+ seats could probably be covered by the A330s, which have also been fairly redundant this summer.

Firstly to answer MKY661 question, there is no paint shop at the moment, all that you see are decals and a try out was accomplished today by using paper to check for look and fit. Did not see the result but understand the Spotty M is a lot bigger, on size with the one on the tail.
G-OZBP was on check in MAN, but is AOG awaiting a Fan cowl coming from PIK.
Now for the A300's, we do not know which way the company is going to go with long haul. If it decides to pull back until post 2014-15, arrival of the "delayedliner", then they should keep the A300's and sell the A330's.
Reason the A300's will last till 2016 and you would get a good resale value on the A330's.

Here is another one of G-OZBT but in my opinion the M should be in the middle on this side too not at the front.

Commendable that so much effort is being put into faffing about with the spotty M, hope someone somewhere is actually working out how in hell you sell that 80% direct, consistently, year round, for profit
