The aim is to, once military specific equipment has been installed and tested along with any military specific operational requirements, achieve the MoD certification and thus carry a military registration.
Which should be on 1 April 2024: "with a transition to full military registered and operated service from 1 April 2024."

Whoever designed that flag motif needs to either get their eyes tested and try again or get fired. Absolutely horrendous attempt🤢

When "Blackjack" came out,we all hated it.
Then we grew into it.
Maybe the same will happen with the Falcon 900's

It could be a lot worst
Look at all the bus and train's with Rainbows on

Nothing. A splash of colour on anything brightens the world a bit. Moans for grey, moans for colour. Just enjoy life.

I'd be happy seeing the local buses painted military Grey with roundels and squadron codes!

I think it would look far better in the old retro "white top" colours, as was adorned by 10 Sqn VC.10's, Brits, Comets. Much more serious, official looking.

Something along those lines, or the Luftwaffe A350 etc, nice and professional rather than this crayola abomination!

As my main bus through the village is a #74 I'd happily travel on a tiger marked black/yellow bar liveried bus!

Was the scheme devised by the same person who designed that on the French A330 F-RARF?

There's a thin line between looking cool and looking tacky!
