New Red Arrows paint scheme...

[C]

Not much of a change, but the first since RAF 2000 (?), and the first time since the Gnat (IIRC) the the "Royal Air Force" name has appeared....

Why?
The reds constantly complain they have no money as it is, so why waste it on these changes??

New corporate image.

I'm sorry but you'll have to explain that one.
Just think, I bet they paid someone pleanty of money to come up with this too.

Probably, not as bad as that awful 2012 Olympics logo though is it!  ;D  ;D

I disagree (as you can probably tell from my post in that thread!).

Still doesn't really explain why they have to go and slap royal air force on the side of a group of planes that have been part of the the same airforce for goodness knows how long. I could sort of see where they were coming from if it were a web address or something, but this is just stating the bleeding obvious.

This has been the RAF's official "Royal Air Force" titling for some time - much as the Royal Navy paid

A new red paint scheme to replace the old red paint scheme with a white go faster stripe.  ::)
