Thanks for the pictures of the aeroplanes - I see the same principles applied.

Looking at the pictures of the liners, they look very distinctive. I know Cunard is very keen on its history and heritage, I wonder if they would consider a retro dazzle scheme on one of their current ships for the centenary !!!

Spud,

I'd love to see a modern liner done up in dazzle.  But given that the object of dazzle paint was to convey an ambiguous or false impression of the vessel's heading, I can imagine some objections from insurance and safety standpoints.
