I do like a challenge and I always thought the BMI scheme was superb, so I rustled this up .

Ah, all starts to become clear! One would presume piloted by Cpt Cummin's ( So they can go where the hell they want, when the hell they want..... )
On a serious note, does anyone have any idea when it will depart Marshall's?

And while there at it they could tweak the Rivet Joint scheme to make it more in keeping with the RAF lightning flash and away from the God awful US front end. Tweaked this so you can see what I mean..

I cannot remember where or when I read it, but I’m sure someone on here recounted an observation something like this:
”When I was at [a] G20 meeting, all the national VIP jets were parked up at the airport. Amongst all the bling from all around the world, Mrs May’s Voyager, in its grey suit, looked exceedingly purposeful and businesslike. It made quite a statement.”
Hopefully someone remembers the actual post, or even wrote it! It struck a chord with me; I do think the grey jets look good.

That might send a message
It will have to be rather distinctive, to avoid confusion with this:
Rather an elegant modern scheme (apart from the winglets) rather than some Comet / VC10 throwback to the 1960s.

A snazzy livery is all well and good for the occasional VIP jaunt, but what about when it's in its swing role tanking or chugging it's way down to the Falklands?
Also, odds on it looking like a mangled BA livery?

Very Ress Mogg. Who I bet has never handled an individual weapon in his life in service. Oh, never done any service for the country at all (that has not had his own interests first).

Maybe they are resurrecting the raspberry ripple scheme.

Whatever the colour scheme turns out to be, it's an additional bit of mission-creep with the VIP airframe, given that there was no VIP provision when the Voyager contract was completed. There's a certain inevitability about it all, but I imagine that getting the contact signed at all was something of a triumph at the time.

Ii would imagine the grey reqs little in the way of upkeep to keep looking smart, however a shiny scheme does.
I too have design some schemes in the past that are flying
