Nice livery though it looks a little tail-heavy; there's nothing up front to balance the griffon.

But now QinetiQ has a better livery and better new-trainers than the RAF. Maybe they should just take-over Valley...

It does seem slightly bizarre after the corporate scheme adopted on the RJ70, RJ100, DA42 and A109s has now reverted back to the stylised ripple scheme first seen on the One-Eleven and Twin Squirrel many moons ago. Just a shame they're carrying civilian registrations. Will the others mentioned above lose their military serials in the future and also adopt the ripple?

Never could have imagined I'd find myself even thinking this, far less typing it, but that PC-21 looks badass! :rock:

I think it's a quality scheme on the PC-21. I guess the people I was told were "pushing hard" for ripple to come back won in the end.

Saw the Squirrel on static at Cosford and thought it looked really smart, tbf.

And yeah that PC-21 looks pretty boss. :up:
