Yes, as I mentioned in a couple of previous posts, that's the logical conclusion. The only question is which of the BEA liveries BA will choose.

Given that we know 3 747s and one A319 will go retro, I suspect that as well as the BOAC 747, we'll see the Landor and Negus schemes on the other two Boeings and (hopefully!) the BEA Red Square on the Airbus.
