I do notice that BA are not choosing to resurrect the "Ethnic tails".
Thank goodness for that!!
What an enormous mistake and cost not just in paint / loss of advertising the brand but also internally and bad publicity including

Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher showed her displeasure at the designs by covering one of the new tailfins (Animals and Trees) on a model 747 with tissue paper. She declared, "We fly the British flag, not these awful things" in 1997. Thatcher also indicated with these fins the airline would lose its identity.

Are these the ten worse airline liveries ?
