"Columba" was embarrassed to find she wasn't in Columbo.

As happened to Robbie Burns, whose song's first draft read:
"My love is like a red, red nose,..."

They painted them on after the Civvies lost a few, I heard the AOC himself saying, Better Red than Dead"

Well, there's really only two places we can put the black box. I've marked the locations up accordingly. Let me know where you think it should go.

They told us we were going to be armed with missiles, however the budget could only stretch to painting the Red Top on.

"Well we used to tell the Nav as long as you kept on course and ensured you had a red light out of that window, and a green one out of this, you wouldn't get lost, however this one is particularly dumb, so we had to give him additional reference points and we didn't want to confuse him with additional colours"

They're for ballast to get the aircraft to fly level, the Nav goes where the front red markings are, and the loadmaster where the rear one is, to be honest we only carry them both to balance each other out"
