Well we had a politically correct Olympic boring emblem, a mostly blue UK national sports kit.

Now a politically correct plane with gold squiggles on which has nothing about the UK or the Olympics on it !.

It seems that its now an offence to put "Britain" or much to do with our country on anything.

What another wasted opportunity to promote ourselves .

All that effort for such a poor result.... Ah, I get it! It's a metaphor for our Olympic team?

saw this on wednesday and the tail looks really nice but you cant see the rest of it. Its a really nice idea to have a smart paint job to promote something but it really does not scream British or olympics. It should have been far more in your face like the Air Newzealand all blacks paint job or Etihad's F1. I was disappointed to be honest. Are there not more designs to come though?

Article says that 9x 319 only and all in the same, guess because it keeps costs down. Also, they are due to remain in the livery for the usual six years.
