Air 2000s new colour scheme at MAN
Yet another new colour scheme rolled up at MAN last night.
Air 2000 757 GCPEP ( thought that belonged to BA ?) arrived in a very 'First Choice' livery. Not much different from the last one imho, apart from the tail.
No doubt somebody, somewhere has been payed a lot of money to think up this very unoriginal scheme. I think i'm in the wrong job !
...Next !
P.S. The Brits 767 looks a bit better in the Toilets Under Inspection
blue, I think. Or is it just me ?

Was it blue and silvery looking?
If so, i might be wrong but i think that is the livery used on the aircraft that Air 2000 send off on those around the world type trips for a month or two at a time.
The interior gets a major overhaul aswel.

spoilers,
I know which one you mean, but I think that Silkman was talking about something different, the repainting of Air 2000's entire fleet in their new corporate livery. Although I haven't seen it, I understand incorporates a large number of features included in the 'First Choice' logo and brand (Air 2000's parent company)
Cheers,
Landing_24R
PS. Silkman, G-CPEP did used to belong to BA, but they returned it, I think it was leased. Any pictures of the scheme yet???

That is not Air2Bob's new livery. It's the one for the RTW trips.
Rumour has it that the real new livery will first appear on G-OOOZ who's ass is currently sticking out of Monarch's hangar still with the purple tail of Royal.
Again, rumour has it that the tail will be blue with the first choice pink flower.

We try to aim; it keeps Sue happy.

The new Air 2000 livery has the First Choice logo on the tail. The aircraft with it's ass currently sticking out of the Monarch hangar in MAN is G-CPEP. This will be the first aircraft in the new livery and will be rolling out next week.
The blue and silver livery is the round the world VIP aircraft not the new colours!!!

'EP' is still in Monarchs hangar, as someone mentioned, with it's arse sticking out between the hangar doors !
Its the one with the turquoise tail with pink 'flower' on it.
I'll post a piccie when it comes out.
The rest of the colour scheme is the typical all white fuselage with a turquoise stipe at the front, turning pink at the back in a 'Lan Chile' style. Engines are turquoise also.
