Sorry, I forgot we’re not allowed to have opinions on things unless they’re completely positive.

You're forgiven, just don't do it again.

Glad as i am to see 2 new repaints on the mighty Tonka, Gold stars and Bats, are 2 that don't do it for me.
Maybe they should have gone for ....... wait for it........ Desert Storm Pink again, and the green/grey camo instead? and celebrate bats /goldstars with something different than has been seen recently on a pair of Tonkas
when i said that they were doing 4 all those months ago (around 9 months if i remember correctly) it was intimated that 1 would be camo, but as the Tonka flew in Combat, maybe put some markings back on some, rather than be ashamed of it...... Everyone else shows them, why should we be afraid to?
It would also be nice if the select few didn't get preferential treatment regarding the flights of these, and that the RAF decide, like the Belgians and dutch to announce certain flights publicly so we can all say goodbye and photograph these beasts. Cad, S.M., Lune Gorge, Kirkstone etc.
The problems could be the number of airliners scattered around awaiting maintenance/dismantling, the fact that Aston Martin have just moved there, plus there's still a military presence in the form of the RAF and the SFSG. At the moment it's still under joint MOD-civil ownership & it's still operated under MAA control, but early next year it's being solely run as a civilian operation & will switch to being under the remit of the CAA.
Whether that would mean they'd be allowed to do Brunty-style events is another matter.....possibly engine runs but no fast-taxy runs?

Well hopefully its a bit more exciting when its finished. Give it some oomph, its meant to be a retirement scheme. Either give it full colour squadron markings of either 9 or 31 squadron and make it full retro or jazz up those fonts and badges so it stands out, rather than looking like an unmarked camo Tornado. Maybe I'm being too hasty, but at the moment it could be better.
Will post the photo later once I’m home.
Don't think IX's jet has flown since it was painted?
