British Airways unveils special ‘BA100’ BOAC livery
British Airways rolled back the years on Monday (February 18) after revealing its special “BA100” BOAC livery.
BA is celebrating its centenary this year, and started by bringing back its classic British Overseas Airways Corporation paint job.
The flight, operated by one of the airline’s B747s, took off from Dublin airport on Monday morning, arriving into Heathrow shortly after 10am.
After teasing the livery for several days, Dublin airport lifted the lid on Monday before the flight took off for Heathrow.
It comes after British Airways earlier this month detailed plans for its centenary campaign, starting with a new ad featuring a host of celebrity talent.
