Just for the sake of it. Quite a number of times an aircraft demonstrator flew in the colours of an air arm which never actually operated it. Or an aircraft was painted in the colours of a customer, only to get the deal embargoed before delivery. Or an aircraft was given false markings for whatever reason. Or the painter didn’t know how to do his job.
(PS: there shall obviously be no photoshopping!)
