Cool

Actually Guvnor, the BWee color scheme is not a grapefruit as some wags have said, it is really a stylized version of a "pan" or steel drum.
Trinidad claims to be the source of the only new percussion instrument of the 20th century.
The green color is said to represent the color of the Caribbean sea, and the babysh*t yellow represents the sand of the beaches.

Rumor has it that a female friend of a very senior management officer was paid a prince's ransom to come up with this paint job as part of a "rebranding" exercise that saw L-10s painted, refurbished, and parked.

Similarly, Tobago Express, the new interisland commuter has ended up with BWee's excess green paint on it's Dash 8 and a paint job that once again is said to have been the expensive work of a female "consultant" of a very senior manager.

Ho hum, plus ca change......
