Britannia New Colour Scheme ?!

[JB007]

I'M NOT A SPOTTER! - I WAS TURNING ONE OF OUR CHEEKY FOKKERS ROUND...

Have I just seen the new BY colour scheme coming out of the BY hangar @ LTN on a B757 ?. Looks a bit BMIish, dark blue on the top half of the fuselage and with what looks like a smiley face on the fin!!??

Yes there was a thread on R&N when it was first announced. Part of the rebranding mania currently going on in the UK. The 'smiley' is a stylised Tui. Hapag Lloyd and another carrier whose name escapes me will have the same scheme. Airlines without a proper name should be boycotted IMO :)

Here is the aforementioned "other thread":

Negative comments abound!
