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.

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 ;)
