Me too, the BEA one stands out.

They went to a lot of trouble to set up that shoot and the weather doesn't play ball.

Hope they maintain them in the schemes, unlike the awful Rusty Chicken Olympic ones , which ended up with numerous odd blue panels fairings and radomes as parts were changed..... :cry:

Back in the late 80's I was doing some work at BA Engineering at Heathrow. A chap came up out of the basement wearing a BOAC hard hat. He didn't seem to appreciate my comment that he had been down there rather a long time.

For someone without any emotional attachment to any of these (i.e. me), the BOAC livery is by far the classiest.

Agreed, I like the BOAC one best.
I actually think that the one in front is actually my second favorite.

As long as they dont put one of those wacky tail designs on they had at one point... :puker:
