Are the OCU airframes in “Trainer Black” these days, for Hi-Vis purposes? Or is this a Night Intruder variant? ZJ914 is an IX Squadron airframe and was repainted in black last year, perhaps inspired by the US aggressor schemes. Remains to be seen whether this is a one-off experiment, or if all IX Squadron jets will end up painted black. |
Thank you, Stu666! :ok:
so ... Aggressors have to be highly visible so you can see them coming? |
A pity that a coloured 'display radome' can't be fitted....
|
They could have done something creative with the grey radome, now it just looks like they had to put on a spare.
|
Personally, not having seen any fast jet display flying for 18 months, I don't really care what colour it is!
Aged spotter and proud of it! |
WHERE WILL IT BE SEEN?
Are there such events as "Airshows" these day? As to military aircraft, personally I preferred then silver!

- Jersey International Air Display – Thursday 9 September The Red Arrows are due to return to the skies over Jersey in September to headline this iconic local event. The world-renowned aerobatic display team missed the 2017 and 2019 shows, and the 2020 Air Display was cancelled due to pandemic restrictions. |
Awesome!!!

Look at Starboard underneath and Port on top Here's the real thing (well at least until Scotland leaves ;)) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ingdom.svg.png It's a little like those souvenir mugs you can buy in London where they make half a flag for one side, then just reverse the picture on the other side. Maybe it's a cost saving measure |
...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

Looks fantastic! Don’t people here love a whinge. Be thankful it’s not in “pride” colours!

"How come nobody has noticed they got the flag backwards"
I never really understood why the diagonals are off centre - it's no wonder 99% of people get it wrong............... |
