Are these the last two VA aircraft in the old livery ?





And why all the mismatched nose cones ?

Radome colour is whatever serviceable spares engineering have in stores, else taken from an aircraft not in service, which may be a different colour.

I like the look of a mismatch radome. The red on white on the 190 is especially striking, unless of course you mistake it as the aircraft having a cold!!

Cheers
