Airline & Aircraft Liveries

[David_itl]

We can look forward to seeing a newly painted BEA A319 G-EUPJ in the next couple of weeks. Pity it's only going to be 3 747s and 1 A319 in retro BA colours as given the amount of short-haul aircraft in their fleet, it would be good to see 3 or 4 retro A319s/A320s

My BOAC 747 at LHR along with some of the other Retro's I have caught over the years at BHX & Manchester.

I wonder, are Lufthansa are responding to a current event with this livery?

They have the right idea to do so.

Lufthansa in disguise to be fair it should be an upgrade on the current livery

Gulf Air have put a retro livery on a 787:

I quite like this so far, it's in the Lufthansa/Joon style but the use of silver will make it stand out in a sea of Eurowhite...

I like it but it's still a little on the bland side as with most new airliner liveries. I think they should've retained some red in their design IMHO.

Predictable and boring!

This is the nearest forum that I can think of for a rather old document (1954) that I've found in my archives. Please feel free to move it to any better suited thread.

I'm not usually one who bothers much about airline liveries or even the shape of a particular aircraft type, but I've long thought that the Constellation is one of the most elegant looking aircraft ever designed.

I love the artist's impression of all the passengers dressed up to the nines which is how it used to be then of course. Flying was an event, not the almost everyday occurrence it has become - virus effects excepted.

Thank you for posting this, Scottie.

Liveries are the identity of those wonderful machines and if kept simple can be memorable.

Remember British Caledonian with the Lion Rampant upon the rudder of the DC10, could that be more obvious?, KLM, obvious, as is Aer Lingus, American, SAS even....simplicity is best.

Trying to be clever can be a miserable and expensive mistake as with BA and those world tails, I hated those.
