Best one for a while. Good to see the following Linron in moving away from a variation on a theme of black that's blighted the training a/c displays since the fleets went black in the late 90s.

Team GB! Its definately a lot more bold and colourful than the standard 'black with a flash' designs.

Hmmm.. the font used on "2012" is awful and the angle of the lines on the fin - well is that in line with the airflow, ground or what? Jeez what were they thinking to come up with that. And why have the 4FTS crest on the fin? I really don't know why they bothered... And national colours?!?! Have they gone mad!!

For what it is I think it looks okay, but personally I think there's enough red, white and blue display aircraft now...

Not sure this is much different to the 2010 display machine in all honesty. It would seem Jo Gough, the designer, has some kind of 'special relationship' with the Hawk Display/RAF as she has designed past schemes.... oh yes, the aforementioned 2010 one come to think of it !! :grin:
