Special stealth black livery to mark the 75th Anniversary of 16 Squadron.
Number 16 Squadron Royal Air Force, nicknamed 'the Saints', is a flying squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF) who currently provide elementary flying training (EFT) with the Grob Tutor T1, presently based at RAF Wittering, an RAF airbase in Cambridgeshire, England.[3]
It originally formed as a squadron of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) on 10 February 1915; 109 years ago, at Saint-Omer, France, to carry out a mixture of offensive patrolling and reconnaissance, and was disbanded in 1919 with the end of the First World War. The squadron reformed as part of the recently formed Royal Air Force (RAF) on 1 April 1924; 100 years ago, and again took on a reconnaissance role which it continued throughout the Second World War. Post-war, the squadron was disbanded and reformed several times, and was converted to a bomber squadron. Equipped with the Tornado GR1 from 1984, the squadron took part in the Gulf War in 1990. It was again disbanded in September 1991, before reforming in November 1991 as the operational conversion unit (OCU) for the Jaguar. With the Jaguar's imminent withdrawal from service, the squadron disbanded once more in 2005. No. 16 Squadron reformed again and took on its current role on 1 October 2008; 15 years ago.

This looks fab.
Have you seen this jet: https://www.airhistory.net/photo/87803/ZA560
this was the RAF / TTTE Tornado display jet for the 1995 display season
Painted Gloss black (more like matt by the end of the season) it toured the UK and some Europe airshows, this would look awesome in MSFS.
The display jet after that was all grey all over with similar logos etc.
Keep up the great work
