Sorry but I also have a big problem with them using Concord in this ad, boils my pish how they discarded her
I thought BAE / Airbus /Aerospatiale withdrew support and they had no choice? Agreed Concorde sadly missed... Night time take offs over Hatton Cross. Lovely !

What I meant was that I didn't think the Speedbird logo had actually been used by BA. I'd never noticed it on the old livery, but i've seen now that i've just been unobservant.

Was that a recent pic? I know they repainted one at the back end of last year to commemorate the end of the 757 service.

That aircraft is still parked outside a BA hanger and visible on the Great West Road (I know because I saw it on Friday and thought WTF?!)

Probably a bit boring for the 'modern traveller'

I flew many, many times to the Middle East as a youngster on a VC10
Taken from the Queen Building? Hunting is the site of the "New Terminal 4"... for those who don't know..
