Yuk!

I'm afraid I am not keen on the colour scheme (though in some colours I do like seeing the wheels match the bodywork) and it doesn't strike me as particularly 'military' or indeed anything to do with The RBL.

The colour of the seats clash rather than compliment, and the colour of the carpet.....what can I say?

The Logos? What would Kipling say?

And why two cars?

IMHO if they were going to do something to mark the end of WW2 then perhaps they should have thought about having a minimum of 3 cars, one each in Navy, Army and RAF colours (though no doubt the Merchant Navy, the SOE and the many other organisations that contributed so much might feel slighted at not being included).

Of course, anything that supports the work of The RBL has to be a good thing - again IMHO - though it is not clear whether the donation will be a token gesture or something more substantial, like the whole of the profit from the sale of the cars.

The idea might have had merit if it had been thought through (and perhaps with some advice from someone with military experience) but for me it appears to have been poorly executed and seems at first glance to be a little opportunistic.

Shame.....
