Zebra livery
We had a business jet do a overshoot at Brize yesterday that was totally painted in a black and white zebra pattern. Looked like either a large G5, (my recognition is not that good).

Any ideas?

Good news indeed as terrible thing to do to a global - looked naff with stripes.

Zebra stripes did their job - the acft certainly stood out in a sea of white (aka - mostly - dull) machines at the EBACE show in GVA recently. 'ZG

Dont doubt it stood out (a million miles at a guess!), but not for the right reasons! no accounting for taste

Wasn't the Zebra pattern for some expansion into Africa or somesuch ? If so, it got noticed and can now go back to the 'I'm Spartacus!' colour scheme of 50 shades of white
