Hoe staat het trouwens met die 2e Cougar die een paar weken terug in de spuithal is gezien om grijs gespoten te worden? Als ik er zo over nadenk vraag ik me af of dat wel echt het geval was, want de S-454 ging destijds naar het buitenland om grijs gespoten te worden, of had dat een andere reden?
En zijn er nog geruchten over een eventuele grijze Chinook? Of was dat pure speculatie ten tijde van de eerste Cougar?

Hi Phantom54 question: how do you know? Is it there send by the RNLAF or the industry?Phantom54 wrote:It will be on static display during RIAT 2009
Alright One more question, don't know if you're able to answer this but:Fulcrum1974 wrote:Why all these doubts?
It's on the updated (today) participants list of the RIAT, only available for Mach members. I gues it's operated by Marshalls on request of the RNLAF.jb5 wrote:Hi Phantom54 question: how do you know? Is it there send by the RNLAF or the industry?
If the request is from the RNLAF, I think jb5 is one of the first three people to know, even before RIAT.Phantom54 wrote:I gues it's operated by Marshalls on request of the RNLAF.
How could I know? I assume the RNLAF is smart enough to let them paint in the right colour. In the other hand: FAS would be happy to repaint them! You don't seem to be very happy about the new colour standard, but don't forget the reason why the RNLAF want to paint them in this new colourscheme.kiwi wrote:One more question, don't know if you're able to answer this but:
Will the new Foxtrots be delivered in green or grey by Boeing? :O
Expect all planes to become "Airforce grey" within surtain time; diversety is (almost) gone ....Hans van der Vlist wrote:I think the new F models will be grey.
Yesterday I saw some picures of these helies D-890 and D-891 and some had already grey parts (rotorheads).
The pictures were seen on a Defense intranet side, so I can not help you with a workable link.

For the heli's: Dont't be so sure about it: The reason why they paint 'm all grey with a special, easy to remove grey paint, is that they can change the colourscheme for missions in other environments. So for missions in Afghanistan you can expect dessert colours.Hurricane wrote:Expect all planes to become "Airforce grey" within surtain time; diversety is (almost) gone ....
I wouldn't count on that. I have to see it with my own eyes to believe that. At the moment I can't believe the DoD (MvD hier ) would see the added value of a desert scheme and find it worth the price for desert paint, certainly with the budget cuts the past years.Fulcrum1974 wrote:For the heli's: Dont't be so sure about it: The reason why they paint 'm all grey with a special, easy to remove grey paint, is that they can change the colourscheme for missions in other environments.
