For me, it all started going downhill when they got rid of the Britannia Airways brand.

I’d love to see a Britannia retro Dreamliner!For me, it all started going downhill when they got rid of the Britannia Airways brand.

Also from elsewhere TUI are still awaiting seven 737s from various sources plus having two 787s stuck in maintenance which seems odd to say the least given peak season is rapidly approaching.
Definitely the 80s/90s livery!Which retro colour scheme would you prefer? I only ever flew on Britannia's B737-200's. The first was in the original scheme with the single blue stripe along the windows. The others wore the red and blue stripes. I think a B787 would look good in either of those.

I'm still unsure what you mean by the '80s/90s livery'. The 'blue and red' colour scheme was still in use in the early 80's, whilst the 90's featured the white top with the multiple blue/red stripes on the lower fuselage (my least favourite Britannia livery and won't look much different on a B787 than it did on a B767).Definitely the 80s/90s livery!
The white top with the blue/red stripes, I think the earlier livery you mentioned was before my time! When I flew Britannia back in the day I had one of the special Britannia Lego sets you could buy off the duty free trolly - I wasn’t allowed to open it on the plane though incase I lost the pieces!I'm still unsure what you mean by the '80s/90s livery'.

Also, G-TUID is currently en route to BHX from NCL…The TUI merry-go-round is puzzling me. According to FR24 TUI B787-8 (G-TUII, TOM975P), arrives from BRS at 06:48. Whilst B787-8 (G-TUIC, TOM976P) positions from BHX to BRS at 07:15. What on earth is the purpose of that, other than if the aircraft were due in for STS? Or, is one in 'long range' and the other in 'short range' configuration?
Kevin
NCL-BHX is a regular weekly positioning flight, so the aircraft can be based at BHX to operate to Cancun (Wed), Orlando MLB (Thu) before positioning back to NCL Friday morning.Also, G-TUID is currently en route to BHX from NCL…
It's only just occurred to me...last to the game, that Tui's flight numbers are four digits for EU flights and three digits for outside the EU. Anyone know the reason? Or is that the reason lol
Cheers in advance
