Rumors of it being a union flag type of paint job on Boris Johnson's aeroplane. I hope the fuck not., spending that amount to mske it look like an Austin Powers "shagadelic" plane will look fucking ridiculous!

As put in another thread, BJ does not own an aeroplane. It belongs to the RAF.

Scheduled for a repaint, its now been selected for an enhanced paint scheme.

That would be dual. It would fare very badly in combat.

They should go the whole hog and call it Air Force Fun.

Well as it's not a fighter jet I would imagine it wouldn't do very well in combat.

But as it's not a fighter jet it will not be in combat!

While you're getting angry about this, you're temporarily distracted from the 60,000+ body bags filled by the catastrophic pandemic response.

It's incredible that there's still the equivalent of a plane crash every day and the death toll is no longer front page news.

Yep it's not as bad but plain (pardon the pun) for the cost id like to know how it cost £900,000 when a repaint for similar plane costs between £36,375 to £145,500

I wonder if it was a tory party donor who won the contract

who would have thought there was far more to painting a plane than popping down B&Q and picking up a tin of magnolia and a £4 roller/tray kit

"It is a specialised area, much stripping, pre-treatment, tie-coats, preparation, not your average paint and partial stripping of components may well be required. It feels like, say £900,000 for a multi-colour finish, might be something of a bargain.", and ... "Specialised labour, working at heights, safety regime, security requirements, safe disposal of waste, it's a big project so project management team and large facility, (American?) it all adds up."

its never about value for money and all about borus playing the world statesman flying into G8 meetings in his new penis extension and pretending we are a world power it's like when your mate gets divorced and goes out and buys a motorbike or a sports car to try and look cool and again past glory when secretly everybody is sniggering at the old fool

Nearly all other World leaders arrive in national liveried airplanes, so it’s not exactly a unique thing that U.K. has decided to also do this.

The airplane was due a paint job so why not take the opportunity and do it better.

The previous colour was grey and boring, not at all like how we should be viewed on the world stage.

Now we arrive with flare and colour

110% yes, of course

Although I’m not sure if David Frost will be allowed to be the first to use the new painted airplane when he pops over to crack the whip in person on Monday

That will be up to the EU I guess...

“ We will go to Brussels in good faith to engage with the EU’s concerns.” and “ This needs to be a real negotiation and some of the EU’s unrealistic positions will have to change if we are to move forward. We have noted carefully what the EU has said in recent days on this subject and look forward to discussing it.”

Yes, it will be up to the EU as they have the upper hand but Boris and his chums never wanted a deal,

A no deal means no fishing rights for the EU in U.K. waters so fish should be more plentiful for the U.K. and cheaper.

Or they can do a deal and have some fishing rights along with other stuff.

Food standards are and should be the same in all countries in or out of the EU and it’s up to individual countries to enforce that.

The U.K. has Relied too much on a service industry And not enough on actual manufacturing this needs to change.

Also it’s time to stop companies from racking in vast profits from cheap sweatshop industries and people need to stop this use once society in regards to clothing ect.

So... :

Why did It cost £900,000 for a paint job that usually costs £145,500 for a similar plane, (£754, 500 extra)

Why does It looks like a British Airways plane

Why is everyone's going to be so dazzled by this plane, they all drop their knickers and bojo will fight offers off with a stick?

An all over RAF grey paint job with standard decals, is always going to be cheaper than a bespoke paint job.

Here comes Boris in his plans built by Airbus , ‘a European multinational aerospace corporation. As of 2019, Airbus is the world's largest airliner manufacturer and took the most airliner orders. Airbus is registered in the Netherlands; its shares are traded in France, Germany and Spain’

To do trade deals with the EU.

"Have seen the video of the airplane, with its new paint job, taking off...

Looks fantastic

Yep it's not as bad but plain (pardon the pun) for the cost id like to know how it cost £900,000 when a repaint for similar plane costs between £36,375 to £145,500

I wonder if it was a tory party donor who won the contract "

As per usual the dodgy press limit the truth in order to divide & separate the nation. The plane had a £900,000 refit, the paint being a relatively small part of that sum.

To give an idea price wise a friend works for a refit company & they just got the contract for four 727’s The contract is worth £6m so £900,000 for a refit is about ballpark.

No, another one sucked in by social media.

The flag is painted correctly as per protocol for aircraft tailfins.

This design has gone through several design appraisals, been signed off and then painted as per the agreed specification.

The flag is correct. You confusing the tail designation with a flag an a flag pole with the wind blowing left to right as the Union Jack is normally depicted.

Fun fact (which I didn’t know before) when a flag is placed on an aircraft or ship, the nose/bow is designated as the flagpole.

True, no doubt it will impress our EU neighbours enough for them to negotiate a great Brexit deal for the UK.

Home Air Voyager transport jet to be repainted in Union flag colours

Voyager transport jet to be repainted in Union flag colours

By George Allison - June 17, 2020

The Voyager transport aircraft, tasked with flying senior ministers to global events and summits, will be repainted at a cost of £900,000.

The Voyager aircraft in question had been been refitted at a cost of about £10m in 2016, in order to save about £775,000 per year as a dedicated aircraft is typically cheaper than chartering flights.

The Prime Minister’s spokesman said of the decision to repaint the jet from its standard grey:

“The £900,000 cost incorporates the cost of creating a design that will promote the UK around the world without compromising the plane’s vital military role. Voyager can better represent the UK around the world with national branding. All of the work has been done in the UK.”'

The Prime Minister's spokesman appears to think that £900,000 was spent on the paint job. What's your source?

What is the actual purpose of this exercise? We have so little confidence on the world stage now that we have to dress up in bright colours to get attention?

This aircraft apparently retains its ability as an inflight refueller. Is the intention that if necessary this aircraft will enter combat operations as it is? Will it perhaps need to be resprayed? Grey maybe? Does this not reduce the combat readiness of an expensive military asset for a political marketing decision?

Blows right to left if you stand on the other side

Red component for red saltire of ireland should be lower in the white saltire for Scotland at the pole side.

And I still think its a waste. Mentioned. I agree a paint job but splurging that much when there's so much wrong in this country, poverty and a breakdown in looking after those in society caused by political ideology driven decisions and people on here being suckered in by populist politics

Oh the irony, calling people 'snowflakes' because they choose to criticise our joke of a PM. I find it staggering that people who voted remain are 'anti British'. You are in favour of Brexit, the Brexit that will definitely lose British jobs and shrink our economy and somehow you portray yourself as patriotic. It's laughable. Take a look at yourself and wonder how you came to support British workers losing there jobs, having lower food standards and a currency that is now deemed to be on par with the Mexican Peso. Then you claim to be somehow 'patriotic'..... brilliant."
,,,,,,. Anyone who is not livid at a government who has failed to protect the lives of our great NHS workers by not having enough PPE in store but can praise them for finding £900,000 for a vanity project is no patriot of our great country in my eyes ,,

Do you think painting an airliner grey makes it invisible to missiles or defensive radar installations?"

This is absolutely the worst "argument" that you've ever attempted to make.

Military paint schemes are grey for visual camouflage. Grey significantly reduces contrast relative to deliberately high visibility red white and blue.

Their chemical composition and dull surface finish is radar absorbent to reduce its signature to missiles and radar installations.

You knew this but wrote what you did anyway, just to argue

My taxes don't pay for them.

I see no benefit in spending £900,000 to brightly paint a low visibility aircraft with a previously dual military use.

What's the purpose of the exercise?

Painting a plane which we didnt build=British success

The UK built components for it.

UK manufacturing tried and trusted to supply European owned aircraft

manufacturer= British Success

Assembled on France

Built on spain

European collaboration translated into English success

Again, wings built in the uk. assembled in Hamburg with a high proportion of British technicians. Why do you hate your country soo much?! It's laughable!

You are laughable. Rambling on about "anti-British" whenever anything inconvenient is pointed out.

The wings were designed and built in the UK with a high proportion of EU and other foreign technicians and engineers. It cuts both ways. It's interdependent.

Airbus is a trans European company. Not British. That's not a problem if you are capable of seeing success within a larger group as a success. The alternative is no aircraft manufacturing capability. Not even wings. You think that we will just build and design them for whoever wants them?

Explain how painting a plane in bright colours improves anything?

Is this an even vague priority?

Doesn't it just look like the Prime Minister spending money on a toy for himself?

This aircraft is salt to your snowflake.Of course he won't it's only the UK he is against wouldn't have heard a peep if we were still in the EU and it was a EU flag

There's a made-up bit of nonesense isn't it?

You would have heard outrage about an EU painted jet from almost everyone.

From me and certainly from you and your Brexity chums.

You do make me laugh

How is painting an aeroplane a "British success"?
