it's not a roundel - it's the push switch to open/close the door.................. that size so you don't have to take off your leather-backed gloves.............. |
Don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but that's a photoshopped image from earlier this year: https://twitter.com/RoyalAirForce/st...32395335438336
I don't think any of ours are quite off the production line yet, but happy to be corrected. |
And it doesn't have the
"Join up today https://www.raf.mod.uk/recruitment/" painted down the side in the manner of every other 737 operated by a LCO I've seen...... |
It’s clearly a photoshopped image. The RAF would have paid extra to have the airstairs removed.

So what radar will the RAF version be equipped with?
|
ASV21 of course, and a noise generator inside to make everyone mid tone deaf.
|
Isn't that a slightly odd position for the RAF roundel, or am I just out of date
|
Oops, sorry, posts before mine appeared after I posted - how odd. Probably s@dding Microsoft
|
That’s a very narrow door for all the food that’ll need to be loaded! No lessons learnt from the sliding cargo door on the RJ although that can still struggle with everything the champion eaters need.
|
Shouldn't there be a large US NAVYesque "RAF" on the rear fuselage like the RJ's bastardisation of the US AIR FORCE markings? (must have saved a couple of quid on stencils etc when changing US to ROYAL).
Don't understand why we didn't go with a more fitting "Royal Air Force" on the forward fuselage as other large aircraft. |
P8
Because under the latest cost saving initiative, they will be operated by Ryanair under a pfi that will cost squidlions in years to come and the pilots will all be Russian or eastern European...
|
And Ryanair will have first call on them in the holiday season and be allowed to remove the kit without the contract requiring them to put it back.
|
And the AEOp will sell the scratch cards for charity....

The latest contract notification mentioned "...engineering change proposal 4 SilverBlock for the government of the UK". Anyone know what this means?
