Good looking bit of kit.

Biggest issue IMO was the engines. Couldn't cruise supersonic without reheat.

and the French sticking an e on the end of Concord

Class!

Made all the better if you got the escort as well.

Not paying for an extra seat for her, mind

I loved the livery when I was a kid, and still love it now. Classy and timeless.

Should go back to the past hostesses, not the current muntters and camp blokes.

 

[Beau Peep]

They were going to retrofit 1970s IFE too, but then realised they'd never updated it since then anyway

Here's one of them, in her original uniform.

Bloomin' Lech!

Oh, flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C.
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R. (Yeah)
Been away so long I hardly knew the place

First thing I thought of!

The next livery scheme has been announced. An Airbus 319 will be repainted in the old BEA colours.

Livery looks great, they should just switch back to BOAC permanently.

Not sure its economically feasible like.

The fuckers need to update interior in the 747s it’s f***ing minging flying on them, I avoid them if at possible.

Wanna upgrade their Stewardesses too. Miserable owld cows.

Here's one of them, in her original uniform.

Mike Seaton made out to look like a twat. Trying to be clever in his tweet.

 

[StripedPaddy]

This was a decent livery. It'll be nice to see it back in the air.
