    168kmph is still 105 mph, though! At least it won't be breaking Mallard's record. That could be embarrassing..........

    That new livery is clever - it stops people taking decent pictures until the launch date.

    Those photographers aren't going to be donating today ...

    Easy to mock the efforts of others but these are probably the efforts of ordinary folk who are delighted to have seen her and want to share their joy with others.

    Lets just stop all this livery debate/smoke deflectors nonsense right now - she looks absolutely fantastic and as shiny as a new pin :) What a fantastic sight she will make on Thursday...

    Sticking my neck out an awful lot here, but from the pics so far it looks like about half a tin of malachite fell into the BR green mix. Either way, it still looks fabulous though.

    Difficult to say from a photo, if that is an unphotoshopped picture it could be the colour rendition of the camera's sensor at fault, Nikon seem to reproduce greens to yellow and Canon to orange. I'll reserve judgment until I see it in the flesh.

    looks darker when the sun isn't on it. Colour is horribly subjective as we all know...

    Oh I know, and it's certainly not at a point where it's annoying, or even barely noticeable. I think I noticed it in the last picture posted from the workshop as well.
