The entire RAF Fleet could do with a bit of colour instead of that miserable fucking grey. Even the old camouflage schemes looked better.

As for the Voyagers they're all multi role aircraft. They're primarily used for Air to Air refuelling but can also carry a couple of hundred (ish) passengers and/or cargo. We should be using the bloody things for VIP Transport instead of leaving them sitting on the tarmac at Brize Norton and chartering other planes.

Go on then tell us which colours are undetectable on radar
