£900,000 aeroplane painting, episode 3

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Pertinent facts which the tory supporters here avoid facing;

Airlines can get a plane stripped and re-painted for (ive googled this) £145,500

Boris inc. spent £900,000.

WHY?! In the middle of a medical crisis, and so many families can't feed, clothe their kids properly, boris can find an expensive paint job!

Whas it a tory donor getting a lucrative the contract for favours?

Yes theyre very arrogant about it. Not sure if they rely on mantrs e.g "they're poor because they want to be" . Or they just laugh at the homeless while striding out

At the moment, incompetence on over spending. Would like to see who was paid 900,000 and their political association and go from there.

Depends if you think paying

£754,500 extra is worth investigating i suppose

Lol like the government i would expect a highly professional job.

That costs money.

Do you think the job would have been done better and cheaper if it was done by Big Ron the panel beater?

Shall we let Nigel at number 3 be choose the next generation of rolling stock because he is really good at building model trains.

I did check on the cost of painting an airliner. Granted that the surface area might differ from plane to plane.

The higher figure on average being £145,500. Cheaper again in the usa.

Did or did it not cost 900,000 as reported on the news?

When BA used to repaint their 747-400s into a standard corporate livery, it used to take 8 days and was costed at around £250k. That was several years ago.

Bespoke designs cost more than standard paint jobs. ZZ336 took 14 full days to complete.

I'm always surprised by the slavish devotion shown by people who probably regard themselves as intelligent.

Doesn't matter who's in power. If they waste hundreds of thousands at a time of national crisis, then they deserve criticism.

As long as the savings are sensible, absolutely. Splitting hairs over the cost of paying. Honestly. I don't see the need for the paint job revamp. So airport staff can see the union jack arrive?

Yeah and it always surprises me that people who "probably regard themselves as intelligent" are quick to jump on a media bandwagon about the cost of a paint job and dont want to mention the £100 billion the government has spent on job retention schemes.

Doesn't matter who's in power.

Nice bit of whataboutery... go start a thread on the job retention scheme....

(for my part I've thought it was a great idea)Not whataboutery mate its about the slavish devotion comment when you vote for someone not everything they do is going to please you but if you are happy with the big important things thats what matters.

Thousands of lives lost.

NHS staff without vital ppe.

People left to die in care homes.

Spending 800k on a paintjob.vital

In case you haven't noticed this has happened in every country its called a pandemic.

With less numbers....hmm, reasons??Well this will all come out when its over and countries can analyse all the relevant data. "

We are not allowed to raise it now then? Funny, the government produced slides at the briefings comparing our death rate with other countries. Then, stopped doing so, when our numbers were higher than theirs. Probably just a coincidence.

Do you really think that half way through a pandemic boris said lets paint a plane? these things take months to arrange you dont just take it down the nearest paint shop and get it sprayed.If the truth was known it was probably going to cost a shed load to cancel the contract so probably more cost effective to go ahead with it.

Pandemic or not, it's a waste of money.

In and of itself, it's not a massive waste compared to some other things, but it's not a good look. At this point however, I'd say it's becoming a bigger talking point than it really is. The government have got more serious questions to face.

Why is it a waste of hundreds of thousands of pounds?

What changed that made this paint job necessary?

Aircraft need stripped and painted at numerous stages of its servisable life. This is to protect the airframe and components.

It would have been done at some point.

Yep, but the rebranding seems to have bumped up the cost of that considerably. "

The BBC spent $1,800,000 on rebranding three letters.

Its an expensive game.

Before Brexit we were told countries would be falling over themselves to do business with us.

The idea that we can only do successfull trade if we have a big union jack on the plane is beyond satire.

Ages ago, just before the millennium I think.

They went from three capitol letters in white font on a black square background with rounded edges to three capitol letters in white font on a black square background with pronounced edges.

lol I think most working class voters know the Tories dnt really give a shit about them, they also know that neither do any of the other political parties. There simply isn't a working class party anymore, you may still think labour is but the majority don't anymore. The results of the recent elections and the feedback I get from being a shop steward for nearly 20 yrs has proved this to me.

like I said I cant agree with you on Corbyn, if he was it didn't resonate with the members I represent anyway, there manifesto pledge to take away the opt out from the EU working time directive was a good example of why, also I think most working class/ low end pay scale wanted Brexit and labour didn't so that was another vote loser. I know people say why would they want to be worse off etc etc, but when you don't have two Penny's spare being told you will be worse off doesn't really matter if you have nothing to begin with.

Completely different here..he was massively popular here.Didnt the eu have loads of directives in to actual protect workers?

If you are a normal working person and you genuinely believe you are no worse off than you would have been under Corbyn,quite frankly I've got no sympathy whatsoever.

"

yes there were directive to protect workers, but one I am referring to would have stopped my members working overtime etc which is how they make there money, so if would of harmed them financially,and yes to answer your question I am a normal working person, but I am afraid personally I didn't like a lot of what labour wanted to do at the last election so they did not get my vote, and although I cant speak for all of them I know this was the case with most of the members here. And no I dnt believe I am worse off through not voting for him, my wage hasn't changed much, still getting extra hrs and the whole brexit thing is small for the company I work for as the EU is our smallest market, the USA, China, Africa, India etc are far more important to our business.

Dont knock maggie never made so much money while she was in charge.

And therin lies the problem. Your bank balance is more important than her destruction of most of our manufacturing industry and the decline of everything outside of the home counties. Some of us would happily pay more tax to stop people having to use food banks. I suspect you wouldn't. "

Of course you would know alot about the opportunities that were created by thatcher being 1 y/o when she came to power.

"We are just a joke, a laughing stock. Pictures of the PM doing press-ups to our currency being compared to the Peso.

It's done now. It's almost like you know the car is gonna crash but you just brace and hope to god it won't be as bad as we think.

I'm.not sure if the penny will ever drop for working class Tories that the likes of johnson couldnt give a flying fuck about them.

But I'd love to be there when it does lol I think most working class voters know the Tories dnt really give a shit about them, they also know that neither do any of the other political parties. There simply isn't a working class party anymore, you may still think labour is but the majority don't anymore. The results of the recent elections and the feedback I get from being a shop steward for nearly 20 yrs has proved this to me.

I'd say under Corbyn they were but huge numbers of the working class voted in that buffoon instead. like I said I cant agree with you on Corbyn, if he was it didn't resonate with the members I represent anyway, there manifesto pledge to take away the opt out from the EU working time directive was a good example of why, also I think most working class/ low end pay scale wanted Brexit and labour didn't so that was another vote loser. I know people say why would they want to be worse off etc etc, but when you don't have two Penny's spare being told you will be worse off doesn't really matter if you have nothing to begin with.

Completely different here..he was massively popular here.Didnt the eu have loads of directives in to actual protect workers?

If you are a normal working person and you genuinely believe you are no worse off than you would have been under Corbyn,quite frankly I've got no sympathy whatsoever.

The same thing happened under thatcher.Normal people actually believe those cunts gave a flying flick about them.

I cant wait till it all comes crashing down

yes there were directive to protect workers, but one I am referring to would have stopped my members working overtime etc which is how they make there money, so if would of harmed them financially,and yes to answer your question I am a normal working person, but I am afraid personally I didn't like a lot of what labour wanted to do at the last election so they did not get my vote, and although I cant speak for all of them I know this was the case with most of the members here. And no I dnt believe I am worse off through not voting for him, my wage hasn't changed much, still getting extra hrs and the whole brexit thing is small for the company I work for as the EU is our smallest market, the USA, China, Africa, India etc are far more important to our business. "

That's 1 part of it..what about minimum wage?terms and conditions?

Surely as a union rep you are aware of how the Tories view organised labour?

It may not be now..let's see in 5 years time.

We have had 6 years pay freeze under this shower and attacks on pensions and working conditions.

Wonder if people will be so keen to vote for them after 5 years of Brexit

Giveaway for what? I'm honestly confused as to what you're on about. If you don't like a political ideology and system, and blame it for wreaking untold harm, then why on earth wouldn't you want to see it crash? The schadenfreude is less appealing, but I would certainly like to see the working class of this country who backed the tories realise that they've voted for a true elite who have latched onto populism to gain support, but who have very little interest in improving life for anyone with less power.

Manufacturing was destroyed by the unions,ever work in a shipyard? demarcation killed them, made it impossible for uk shipyards to compete. The union rules and nothing to do with health and safety priced us out of the market what with a little help from the KGB paying union officials to fuck the uk economy.Workers forced to go on strike knowing they will never recover the wages lost even if they got another fiver a week.This is why manufacturing died, for what purpose would a government try to destroy its economy whatever colour it is? they get elected again on success and she managed 3 terms.

Yes mate remember jack jones? a KGB agent released papers about 10 years ago on the subject.What about red robbo of British layland a communist who called over 500 strikes in 2 years opposed any modernization and was finally sussed by the workers who would not go on strike when he was sacked.Think ken loach made a film about him,communist, union agitator who would do anything and crap on all his "comrades" to have a communist uk.

Right, had a look on specialist aircraft sites snd also Google, rather than using your opinion based supposition and boring derogatory quips .

Generous figure of £145,500, is the figure, based on the fixed price for designing the livery scheme., then applying it to x amount of aircraft in the fleet, working out cheaper for each plane painted. In this case, 1 aircraft. Beinf in my opinion very inefficient.

Iin the 1st gulf war, a squadron of fighter bombers were painted by raf ground crews, so doing up 1 plane wouldn't have

been an issue i would hsve thought.

So you think ground crew could have made just as good a job.

You don't find it odd that the op didn't find out how much a C check costs on an A330

You're fine with the fact the op didn't explore the cost around de-moding then modifying the IFF system, not to mention the cost of other sensitive operations that would have been incorporated into the servicing.

High value assets need high value maintenance.

who would have thought there was far more to painting a plane than popping down B&Q and picking up a tin of magnolia and a £4 roller/tray kit

"Specialised labour, working at heights, safety regime, security requirements, safe disposal of waste, it's a big project so project management team and large facility, (American?) it all adds up."

Yup, looked into the cost of painting and i assume the £145,500 is all included

... if Nige from No.3 is doing the job with a tin of magnolia from B&Q...

Let's see your cost breakdown so we can assess if you have quoted the job correctly...

Right, had a look on specialist aircraft sites snd also Google, rather than using your opinion based supposition and boring derogatory quips .

Generous figure of £145,500, is the figure, based on the fixed price for designing the livery scheme., then applying it to x amount of aircraft in the fleet, working out cheaper for each plane painted. In this case, 1 aircraft. Beinf in my opinion very inefficient.

Iin the 1st gulf war, a squadron of fighter bombers were painted by raf ground crews, so doing up 1 plane wouldn't have

been an issue i would hsve thought.

Do you think the MOD should make public everything that they do to equipment involved in national defence? Including any electric warfare modification? Should a break down of all military aircraft servicing be made public including all upgrades?

Is this what you want?

Oh, and the irony is not lost on me

So you think ground crew could have made just as good a job.

You don't find it odd that the op didn't find out how much a C check costs on an A330

You're fine with the fact the op didn't explore the cost around de-moding then modifying the IFF system, not to mention the cost of other sensitive operations that would have been incorporated into the servicing.

The reported spend is on the paint job, nothing else!

As to those who say "why did they do it during a pandemic" I ask this. When did it enter servicing? When was the contract signed? You must know i assume, that it was all done DURING lockdown? Right?

"Cant beat a tory who is quite happy to see 3 million unemployed as long as they are ok,take the moral high ground.

As i said before and you didnt counter it your precious unions had a lot to do with that.

The unions were not responsible for 3 million people being out of work.Come off it you must have a short memory demarcation,strikes, making it impossible for companies to make a profit.

She destroyed forever the manufacturing base in this country

She sold off many of our assets

Her belief in free market economy left millions on the scraphreap

Her boom and bust policies let to the crash of 87

Deregulation of the banks contributed to the crash on 08

Fuck all to do with the unions.Manufacturing was destroyed by the unions,ever work in a shipyard? demarcation killed them, made it impossible for uk shipyards to compete. The union rules and nothing to do with health and safety priced us out of the market what with a little help from the KGB paying union officials to fuck the uk economy.Workers forced to go on strike knowing they will never recover the wages lost even if they got another fiver a week.This is why manufacturing died, for what purpose would a government try to destroy its economy whatever colour it is? they get elected again on success and she managed 3 terms.

The unions,funded by the kgb' deliberately sabotaged their own,and their members jobs?

RightioYes mate remember jack jones? a KGB agent released papers about 10 years ago on the subject.What about red robbo of British layland a communist who called over 500 strikes in 2 years opposed any modernization and was finally sussed by the workers who would not go on strike when he was sacked.Think ken loach made a film about him,communist, union agitator who would do anything and crap on all his "comrades" to have a communist uk."

Yep there is a statue of him in liverpool.

Yep according to the mail he was a KGB agent and if anyone knows the state secrets of the conservative gmnt the natural option would be a radical socialist

"We are just a joke, a laughing stock. Pictures of the PM doing press-ups to our currency being compared to the Peso.

It's done now. It's almost like you know the car is gonna crash but you just brace and hope to god it won't be as bad as we think.

I'm.not sure if the penny will ever drop for working class Tories that the likes of johnson couldnt give a flying fuck about them.

But I'd love to be there when it does lol I think most working class voters know the Tories dnt really give a shit about them, they also know that neither do any of the other political parties. There simply isn't a working class party anymore, you may still think labour is but the majority don't anymore. The results of the recent elections and the feedback I get from being a shop steward for nearly 20 yrs has proved this to me.

I'd say under Corbyn they were but huge numbers of the working class voted in that buffoon instead. like I said I cant agree with you on Corbyn, if he was it didn't resonate with the members I represent anyway, there manifesto pledge to take away the opt out from the EU working time directive was a good example of why, also I think most working class/ low end pay scale wanted Brexit and labour didn't so that was another vote loser. I know people say why would they want to be worse off etc etc, but when you don't have two Penny's spare being told you will be worse off doesn't really matter if you have nothing to begin with.

Completely different here..he was massively popular here.Didnt the eu have loads of directives in to actual protect workers?

If you are a normal working person and you genuinely believe you are no worse off than you would have been under Corbyn,quite frankly I've got no sympathy whatsoever.

The same thing happened under thatcher.Normal people actually believe those cunts gave a flying flick about them.

I cant wait till it all comes crashing down

yes there were directive to protect workers, but one I am referring to would have stopped my members working overtime etc which is how they make there money, so if would of harmed them financially,and yes to answer your question I am a normal working person, but I am afraid personally I didn't like a lot of what labour wanted to do at the last election so they did not get my vote, and although I cant speak for all of them I know this was the case with most of the members here. And no I dnt believe I am worse off through not voting for him, my wage hasn't changed much, still getting extra hrs and the whole brexit thing is small for the company I work for as the EU is our smallest market, the USA, China, Africa, India etc are far more important to our business.

That's 1 part of it..what about minimum wage?terms and conditions?

Surely as a union rep you are aware of how the Tories view organised labour?

It may not be now..let's see in 5 years time.

We have had 6 years pay freeze under this shower and attacks on pensions and working conditions.

Wonder if people will be so keen to vote for them after 5 years of Brexit "

by sounds of things you are having a far harder time than my members, we have had no attacks on any of our rights or practices, nobody is on the minimum wage rate,we have had a pay every year and increases to our pensions in that time above the level of contribution that is required of the employer, and you may be right about brexit but I really dnt think it will affect our business much at all, as I said the EU is our smallest market and if anything I can only see it getting smaller, its the developing countries that are our key markets and where we are making money. Maybe we are just lucky, but we have a good working relationship with my employer and a high density rate amongst our employees which helps greatly when bargaining as I am sure you are aware.

"Cant beat a tory who is quite happy to see 3 million unemployed as long as they are ok,take the moral high ground.

As i said before and you didnt counter it your precious unions had a lot to do with that.

The unions were not responsible for 3 million people being out of work.Come off it you must have a short memory demarcation,strikes, making it impossible for companies to make a profit.

She destroyed forever the manufacturing base in this country

She sold off many of our assets

Her belief in free market economy left millions on the scraphreap

Her boom and bust policies let to the crash of 87

Deregulation of the banks contributed to the crash on 08

Fuck all to do with the unions.Manufacturing was destroyed by the unions,ever work in a shipyard? demarcation killed them, made it impossible for uk shipyards to compete. The union rules and nothing to do with health and safety priced us out of the market what with a little help from the KGB paying union officials to fuck the uk economy.Workers forced to go on strike knowing they will never recover the wages lost even if they got another fiver a week.This is why manufacturing died, for what purpose would a government try to destroy its economy whatever colour it is? they get elected again on success and she managed 3 terms.

The unions,funded by the kgb' deliberately sabotaged their own,and their members jobs?

RightioYes mate remember jack jones? a KGB agent released papers about 10 years ago on the subject.What about red robbo of British layland a communist who called over 500 strikes in 2 years opposed any modernization and was finally sussed by the workers who would not go on strike when he was sacked.Think ken loach made a film about him,communist, union agitator who would do anything and crap on all his "comrades" to have a communist uk.

Yep there is a statue of him in liverpool.

Yep according to the mail he was a KGB agent and if anyone knows the state secrets of the conservative gmnt the natural option would be a radical socialist"

Try reading the diaries of Anatoly Chernyaev should be right up your street rather than the daily mail, get it straight from the horses mouth.

Because it's not "Boris's" plane, just like they're not his aircraft carriers. It's a fair point. If the government changed tomorrow that aircraft would still be the preferred option for the prime minister to travel over seas in.

Why are you bringing Corbyn into it?

Exactly, this is purely a boris bashing thread! ,,,,,...Boris bashing thread ?????? ,,,,I thought it was part 3 of the threads ( airplane III) for the Johnson / Brexit fans to tell us all what a brilliant idea and how pretty the plane is

Why would you think someone who voted remain wouldn't like it? We're not all self loathing apologists you know. ,,,,,,,fair point , well made , so its the 3rd thread of Johnson / brexit / remainers telling us what a good idea and how pretty the plane is ,( but probably mainly Johnson and his brexit buddies ),my point being its not a thread to bash anyone but a thread for those extremely excited about a plane can tell us how extremely excited they are ,

These threads show that 98% of fab users know nothing of the aviation industry, and even less about military aviation. And that's probably for the best. ,,,,,,i would probably guess that 98% of the population ( probably 99% ) know nothing about aviation , so , if you do , please use this thread ( and the previous 2 ,,,and maybe more to follow ) to enjoy your thrill and excitement ( along with Johnson and his brexit buddies ) about a plane and if you consider it money well spent then fair enough ,,"

Why are you bringing up Brexit? 900,000 quid is as much as you'd expect to pay for a paint job, a service and a modification program. Why do you find it soo hard to understand?

"What is the point in spending £900,000 on a plane when Boris looks like a tramp? He should invest in a new fit suit and a hair brush, he looks horrendous

Maybe the paint job will out live his tenure..!

If starmer wins the next election he will be able to use it too or will he have it repainted again to original colour

Why is that relevant?

Ha not many posts above people are talking about Cornyn and the KGB. I was just saying if starmer wins the next election he gets to use it too. Is that incorrect?

Yes, that is correct, is that why they painted it? Just in case Starmer wins the next election?

That fookin Starmer wasting tsx payers money

Where did I blame starmer?

Why did you bring up Starmer?

Because it's not "Boris's" plane, just like they're not his aircraft carriers. It's a fair point. If the government changed tomorrow that aircraft would still be the preferred option for the prime minister to travel over seas in.

When will you admit it's the flag and Boris that you don't like, rather than the bill which you don't understand?

Both Corbyn and the KGB have been discussed here, did you question them?

Neither Corbyn or the KGB are in with much of a chance to use the plane. Starmer is if he wins

Very good point, could he have used the plane if it had remained grey??

Because it represents our national interest abroad. Why does Macron, Merkel, potus, and any other leader of a successful country do the same? Do you think business abroad should be conducted from a military asset in camoflage? Would you prefer our national leader turned up in a Hercules for instance? Does it upset you that people are proud of our country? Do you wish we would shrivel up and die?

It is very telling that still nobody has provided any evidence that the $900,000 was spent entirely on painting the plane.

Not one person acknowledged clems post on C checks proving they don't understand what is involved in airplane maintenance but think they know enough to dismiss him.

His reference to the IFF shows more knowledge on the subject than the vast majority of the population let alone this thread. Google IFF Interrogator to see an example of upgrades that may have been carried out as part of the project
