Nice. That’s a different one though! Condor livery was late 80s to early 00s. BOAC was much earlier.

747 with Landor livery arrives tomorrow from Dublin after paint job

The mid nineties was the awful paint jobs supposed to say they were international but just looked garish (I think the aim was meant to be tropical not toddler gone crazy with a paintbrush). Hated it which was unfortunate as I worked at terminal 4 at the time which was BA's long haul and Paris and Amsterdam terminal so couldn't avoid looking at them daily. It was great for celebrity spotting though ! Used to often be grabbing a coffee at Costa at 5.45am at the same time as Steve the resident press man from the Airport TV show and he always knew who was due though that day .
