Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage extended from the rear of the engine pods, flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, and the nose dropped slightly, suggesting it is about to land.
The plane is mostly white, with a silvery-grey belly, and black "Jersey European" titles running along the lower body, and a large triangle either a scalloped base, made up of black, yellow, orange, and red stripes.
A similar design appears on the white tail.
The black registration "G-JEAI" is on a white fillet at the front of the tail.
Cloudy white sky with bright patches shining through fills the background.

This is just on example of what we're up against. Ringway are contracted to maintain our roads in Gloucestershire.

This exemplifies the quality of their work! A two year old with a bucket and spade could do better.

I checked out ringway and this is what I discovered:-

Ringway have an interesting strapline: Delivering highways differently

They are actually Ringway Infrastructure Service Ltd.

Contracts with
Hertfordshire County Council
Milton Keynes City Council
Worcestershire County Council
Gloucestershire County Council
Bracknell Forest Council

They generated about £16m of profit last year (this is the rough ballpark per anum) which I assume winds its way through VINCI Construction Holding Limited which has a controlling interest of their shares.

VINCI Construction Holding Limited consolidates other PFI contracts; Ringway Hounslow Highways Ltd, Ringway Island Roads Ltd along with many other interests, Taylor Woodrow etc.

Despite consolidated income of £2.2bn, inexplicably (to me at least) this becomes a £21m loss......

Anyway Vinci SA, a french public limited company, has a controlling interest in VINCI Construction Holding Limited.

I just cannot understand why Highway maitainance isn't done in-house. There are far too many fat cats in this supply chain.
