An RAF Typhoon painted in a full Union Flag colour scheme has been unveiled at RAF Coningsby. A large proportion of the aircraft's surfaces, both top and bottom, are taken up by the scheme. The aircraft will be used at air shows both at home and overseas in the 2021 and 2022 display seasons.

Thanks - it looks beautiful - to think this was essentially an all british effort that was seeded from the EAP programme until we were forced to make it an european project(sigh)

On this note - the Pakistani flag on JF17 S/N #111 looks better done because it is done all over versus the above and the flag is easier to paint an aircraft with.

Latest variant Eurofighter. Never observed a fighter pilot to be seen on flightradar24 avaialable for public. Did it switch on its transponder on purpose?

There are plenty actually. A few months ago I randomly came across a F-35B squawking 7700 and recovering at NAS North Island. It is a hit or miss to see them on flightradar24.

I like the Union Jack on the delta wings but I don't like it on the canards. Seems too.... Cartoonish and I don't know why. But nevertheless nice job on the delta wings.

Big up to the boys

Personally, I think it looked more impressive when it was painted in Battle of Britain colours.

Not as good as it could have looked.

This style would have looked better.

In Canada, they had painted one or a few of the CT-155 Hawks (earlier variant of the Hawk T2) in similar colours. Looked very spectacular.

Exactly !!! I saw this in Gatineau a few years back. And there is a picture of this at my former workplace. Very catchy to the eye
