Amidst the biggest crisis in my lifetime (exempt the latter bits of WW2) painting a Boris One jet should be waaaaay down the list of “Wouldn’t it be nice...” However, UK taxpayers will undoubtely be happy to know Boris likes the colour scheme.
BTW, the OH would disagree, Herod 😎 The roundel positioning is neater, for a start. But I digress from my [rant]

What's the problem - do you think red or blue paint is more expensive than grey? It's got to have paint on it, and military aircraft often get custom paint schemes. Do you complain about those too?

Agreed, CK.
As for other ‘bling’ paint schemes, ditto. I thought the RAF had more important things to address.

I’ve asked the Mods to move the earlier discussion on the Voyager thread to be moved here.

Any thoughts on the likely colour scheme?

No need to paint it. It's fine as it is. It may be required for its intended purpose as a Tanker in grey at some point! So it would be a waste of money to have to paint it for no reason. Pretentious c
