Acky190 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi all, Just heard on BFBS that the Reds have another new tail design to celebrate the teams 50th display season. You can find a picture on the BBC news website. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-31621958 Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I thought last years 50th tail was superb and I hoped they would keep it. Glad they have changed it to this one as its even better. Come on Xtradecal get a wriggle on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I suppose they had to wait until after the Scottish referendum to apply the design! Still a cracking design in my opinion. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrierpilot Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The new design will be on the aircraft until the RAF's 100th Anniversary not just for 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagRigger Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Better, but slightly too much red on the leading edge to my eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Millman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Better, but slightly too much red on the leading edge to my eye Yes, agreed. It might have looked better to have the leading edge the same width as the horizontal red stripe on the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well according to Sky News, this is a "Historic Livery Change" to the "Fighter" aircraft that the Red Arrows fly. http://news.sky.com/story/1433625/red-arrows-reveal-historic-tail-fin-redesign Since when was the Hawk Jet Trainer a fighter aircraft? Yet again a rupert murdoch company getting their facts wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy wood Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This design is permanent. The old fin flash has gone, (ell at least until they replaced the T1 with the T2. Who knows what they will look like then! I think the T2 is one ugly plane...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
