Royal Air Force One
 
Not sure what to call that official government plane, but don't like the moniker Boris' plane. Anyway, not that impressed with the 900K paint job. Looks a bit too British Airways. Any alternative ideas of how the tail could have been painted ? Some kind of royal symbol ?

you can’t expect people to come up with suggestions without the £900k upfront

Actually, I wonder how much of the 900k was paid to the consultancy that dreamed up the BA knock off design ?!

So if total cost was 900,000, a good chunk just went to designing it/consulting/given to companies of politicians friends.

While painting aircraft is not cheap, its also not a 900,000 job, well maybe it is for a government though.
