Yes an interesting Link but all in all I think it is a waste of Shareholders or Tax Payers money to paint aircraft in those sometimes awful looking liveries... :-X

BA would pay the bill...it's a private company

I don't know why it took all those man hours to ruin an A.319...I could spoil one in less than ten minutes.

BA painted over the flag as a showpiece to the world

They should be ashamed...I hope the other seven don't get done and this monstrosity returned to normal ASAP.

A symbol of peace???..taking the peace more like.
