Just flew over my house in Henlow, keeping to 8,000 ft all the way back by the looks of it.

An attempt to prove that it retains a military function to take the heat off Borris :)

Not at all.
The amoral Russia Report hiding asset needs to be called out, challenged, lampooned and satirised at EVERY opportunity.

Sorry, I made the mistake of thinking this is a military aviation forum rather than a political (attempted) satire one.

Shame the UK has no political opposition to do it then and we have to depend on satire from plane spotters!

Looks ok from a distance to be fair but I still think the roundel's wrong, badly placed and too small, and the 'United Kingdom' looks like an afterthought.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Yuk, but someone has to ask - "When's it going through the loop?"

What looks like an afterthought is the "ZZ336" in enormous bold lettering!

Agree about the roundel, but generally it's ok.

Until.......throws hand grenade in room......the break up of the Union, of course.

I like it. Anyone making the Boris Johnson remarks shoild remember that 336 is for Royalty and high MPs, and any aircraft looking for fuel if it is available. Also Borris apparently regularly complains that he cannot book the aircraft when he wants 😁

Could have been worse, I admit the serial is rather thick but just think how easy it would be to read off the transport fleet at Brize Norton if they were all painted with that size serial. Just like the old USAF "BUZZ NUMBERS".

It's quite nice to see a military aircraft with a bit of colour to it.

I like it.
