Aircraft was scheduled for a maintenance check and a re-paint anyway, so any cost query should be how much EXTRA will it cost compared to just painting it air defense grey again? I strongly suspect that isn't £900k.

There is a significant danger of us knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing. An RAF Voyager painted with the Union Jack etc will bring a sense of pride to those flying in her, and many UK citizens who see her, it will also be an advert for Great Britain when seen abroad, on the news etc, and bring a greater status than a drab RAF grey one.
