New Typhoon display livery
Because it has the finess of a steamroller. It is rubbish. It defaces the Union Flag. It is Nul Pont to other display kites of other nations. The Rafale of the the AdA is selling the AdA. The other nations don't need to sell their countries flag, they sell their service or their units history. Alas the RAF rules to QRs on schemes are not to have any fun. John Sullivan wanted a design as you know. I was pushing for a design that was RAF based. I got it in the end with the crests. My addition to it was the Union flag. No BA bull s*** . As it is laid flat. Not defaced or as my brother has stated, dragged into a black hole.
...as for the very first picture (not that my opinion counts mind) - my first impression was that it looks like it's part of the British Airways fleet
...but one drawback is that because the intake cover is red it no longer stands out, though you'd hope that wouldn't be a problem

As you know it is hard to compete with the design you mention. I just don't think this one is worth getting upset about. Some people have taken a pretty decent amount of time and worked within the constraints given them (not everyone can get sponsorship money!) and come up with something that is striking even if not to everyone's taste.
Maybe I'm easily pleased but I think any special design is better than nothing.
