the paint on the British Airways tailfins,
I think they're rather nice. It's a shame they never finished doing all
their planes. They bring a bit of local colour.
I was taxiing at Heathrow one afternoon when I noticed this rather
attractive tail logo sticking out above the mass of other aircraft. I
commented:
"Well, at least British Airways got that one right"
First Officer replied "That's South African Airways"
As Phil will know, instructions such as "Follow the Speedbird" (British
Airways callsign) could, and did lead to confusion (not in my instance I
have to add - but the potential was always there)
