If you have to paint a De Havilland yellow, it has to be a Tiger Moth... :P

Phantom - possible.
Lightning - no spares, very very expensive, something to do with the control/fuel system that makes the aircraft dangerous, very complex.
Victor - same as Lightning, apart from the control thing.

You've probably been asked this before a thousand times but why is it we are allowed to fly Sea Vixens, Sea Hawks, Hunters and Vampires in this country but not Lightnings, Victors and Buccaneers (Or a Javelin would be nice)? Also, why don't I see any RAF Phantoms flying in private hands? Sooo glad the Red Bull/Extreme sports brigade got their God awfull paint job off this thing. Thanks for posting.

No I haven't...is it the Squadron camouflage look?
...or have they chosen another interesting scheme?
I loved the Drone look...the high vis scheme is a crowd pleaser!
she looks to be an incredibly versatile machine for her size! i hope we see her again this year :)

I wasn't aware of that i'm in Australia...and haven't kept up with much of the UK aviation news of late....but I know the scheme was abysmal.
I love the 'drone' livery...this is the only vid i have seen without that dreaded drink logo all over it.

I do respect Red Bull for keeping her in the sky...I just wished they had been less intrusive to the originality of such aircraft (Swiss B-25...ditto...) but then again..i'm sure we'd all rather hear and see her shape in the sky than mothballed (as she is now) so kudos to Red Bull....

I agree with you she was a massive flying advert for Red Bull have to admit the drone colours are fab.... have you seen her new colours though!?
