No paint for Rivet Joint!
BEags, my friend. I think they may have overlooked the FACT that the additional wiring was, quite probably, acting as a heat sink, conducting the heat away from potential hot spots that could well have caused a serious and dangerous problem for the aircraft and crew. They should have taken the same test airframe back to Nevada for a further few weeks after the wiring had been stripped out. It would have been the only way to be sure.
By the way, does the LOA still cover the cost of the $10 tables in Ceasar's Palace?

This (non) story is a cracking case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
People were up in arms when the latest Royal Air Force logo (the one with the sloping 'Y') started to be plastered everywhere. Variously, it was 'tacky' and a 'waste of money'.
Here, we have a pragmatic decision which as some have pointed out saves money which is sorely needed elsewhere - and, hey, for once it's a saving which doesn't compromise anything operationally.
It's a shame that some people can only be consistent in their chippiness.

I spotted it as soon as the first photos were released - no sloping A & Y in the ROYAL AIR FORCE font
