ive always thought of monarch's livery's as a bit old fashioned and a tad dull, although the last one was ok. but this new one :eek: oh my god what have they done! that look's absolutely dreadful in so many way's.
please tell me its not finished yet and that that purple is just an undercoat right?

Mr @ Spotty M 29th Jan 2012 20:06

I did say you would have to be blind to not see the changes.
Topspotter, l don't think less than 4 1/2 hours is to long to wait.

Benod 29th Jan 2012 20:17

So will this livery be rolled out to the rest of the fleet then?!??

Mr @ Spotty M 29th Jan 2012 20:43

See my previous post #46 on the 27th.

I think it looks great!

Benod 29th Jan 2012 21:09

Thanks. I do agree that i like the revised livery but i cant understand why people disagree with it so much! Its only a small colour change and slight displacement with the layout of the colours!!

Topspotter 29th Jan 2012 23:36

What i meant spotty m is you wont see it in service when it should have been due to the problems found during the repaint;)

I think it is a little more than a slight displacement of the colours, the whole bloody tail is now mainly Yellow!!!.
I will know more within a few days what G-MRJK is going to look like, my understanding at the moment as per G-OZBK but with the tail white.
This might however change by the time it is finished.
Topspotter, now l know what you mean, but it did not come across that way as it is all over the web.

Benod 30th Jan 2012 06:45

Do you know if they are going to keep the purple on the livery aswell?

Georgeablelovehowindia 30th Jan 2012 07:34

What has that poor aircraft done to deserve this?
 
Well, I can only imagine that the flight operations director* - who is ex BA - has been on the same stuff that Ayling Bob was on when he approved those ridiculous fins.

Fortunately, reason prevailed at BA and let's hope that it does at Monarch - PDQ!! The current livery was/is perfectly OK while there are far more important things to be concentrating on.

* Or is he now the CEO? I've lost the plot in the flurry of the 'revolving doors.'

Edit: I've checked, his job-title is 'Managing Director.'

What is going on at Monarch? Seems like there is a bit of an identity crisis going on. Yet another variation of the livery, which makes what 6 now?

Change that purple back to indigo, take away the 'M' off the fuselage & would look Ok. Really don't like the purple colour though & the old double coloured 'M' looked much better!

I don't know where your six comes from, l make it three.
However you might not be to far off with one of your suggestions. :ugh:

TCX69 30th Jan 2012 17:58

Admittedly, small differences, but there's A\C with FlyMonarch.com titles (JK), the 2 different styled old Monarch titles, monarch.co.uk titles, new billboard titles on old livery & the new livery. Maybe I'm just too sad for noticing! :{ lol

I hope someone changes their mind again & they keep the current livery! :D

Mr @ Spotty M 30th Jan 2012 20:02

I forgot about those, could be more than six, three so far just using the billboard titles. :{

Easily the worst colour combo I have ever seen in my life. What is that light purple pukage supposed to.. eh I dont even know how to word the question. What I am trying to say is Whisky Tango Foxtrot. :ugh:

TCX69 31st Jan 2012 11:13

So what is the reason that MRJK will be in a different livery again? I really just don't understand the need for the logo on the tail & fuselage, is too much! :ugh:

jungle jim 31st Jan 2012 17:36

Apparently the hideous reddy purple colour was applied in error, it should have been the current Monarch colour, indigo. Having seen a paint shop recreation using the old colour it is certainly a vast improvement.

Wardie73 31st Jan 2012 17:55

Yes the livery with indigo should work well.:ok:
I walked around "BK" today while it was parked in western maintenance area & it really does look awful.:yuk:

TCX69 31st Jan 2012 20:19

Much better! Hint Monarch, hint! ;)

ZOOKER 31st Jan 2012 20:41

"Hint MONARCH, hint".
Correct. NOT co.uk.

You don't walk down the High Street, (if you still have one), and see HSBC.com, or GREGGS.co.uk.
Utter cr*p.
