Captainspeaking - with due respect, disagree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of your post. I fly to CDG on a regular basis and have to say that the French have done a grand job in the way they have mounted one of their fleet on pillars with the gear down - it's (in my view) a fitting tribute to an aviation icon. Why can't we (BA) do something comparable? Cost? Enthusiasm? It beggars belief it really does. We've now got the Emirates A380 on the tunnel rdabt, why can't we have AB mounted on the big grass rdabt at the entrance to T5? Would look great............
