Lol, exactly! The craft wears, as RVDT mentioned, the standard AW livery.

In the OP there was the suggestion that this 'fly-through' may have been part of the up-coming Bond movie but yes, it does seem a little late for that.

The a/c reg may well be a give-away when it comes to what the craft is up to.

To me the livery looks like the standard AW livery with extra blue and red reflecting the union flag...

Not Olympic at all - it's the new standard AW C/S. Same are applied to the training A109's at Newquay.
