Ryanair 737s
At Manchester today, I saw one labelled "Bye bye Latehansa." He takes the biscuit for cheek, Michael O'Leary. I also recall "Arriverderci Alitalia" a few years ago.
It probably sounds sniffy, but personally I think putting this kind of brash slogan on an airliner cheapens it-just like those silly "Keep Duty free" decals on Britannia's aircraft in the late 1990s. |
This Il76T, TL-ACH, was used to advertise a local hotel and was the gate guardian at Umm Al Qaiwain airport in the UAE. Taken in December 2001.

Although not a "bill-board", 707-458 ex 4X-ATB sat outside Tegel Airport in Berlin painted as Lufthansa D-ABOC (I first saw it in 1994). It was famous for its involvement in an infamous hijack in 1970.
The 707 mentioned by gruntie and tail wheel (ex VH-EBP) as "The Plane" café at Cairo was also SU-BBA. I saw it there in June 1995. Laurence |
The Hunter on top of the Vanguard Removals building by the A40 road in West London has been gone for many years now. In passing a number of my colleagues thought the aircraft type was therefore actually a Vanguard !

Passing through Turangi on Lake Taupo, New Zealand in 2008, a DC-3 was just being finished off to act as a cafe.

Thanks to all for their excellent postings and extensive answers to my original post/question.

There is (or 'was') an old Convair 880/990 just across the road at Lisbon Airport which was advertising a strip-club. Not sure if it's still there.

Do a standard photo search on airliners.net with "Western Pacific" in the "Airline..." box.
