Red, white and blue colours for Canada’s aircraft

Canada’s official airbus has been given a new paint job and you have to like it. Until now, Canadian officials  — the prime minister, governor general and sometimes members of the royal family — arrived in foreign lands looking like mourners. The aircraft that was painted in two tones of gray. The new colour scheme is not only happier, it may suggest to those we visit that Canada is not quite as glum a place as the plane would suggest.
