737-800 in BA Colours

[F.O. 737-800]

There was a 737-800 in BA colours down route the other day and as far as I know BA only fly the classic. Anyone have any idea who the operator is?

[Fargoo]

It's GB Airways - a leased -800 until they get their next A321

[Angus Meecoat]

Leased from Excel, due to go back at the end of the summer

[A and C]

Leased by GB from XL Airways with XL flight crew and GB cabin crew.

It's an old Ryan air one appently. The blue bit goes too far the tail!!

Its not a Ryanair one. The two which they have got rid of this week are in PIK waiting to be moved by the company who bought them, EI-CSA and EI-CSE

[Newforest]

The aircraft is G-OXLA, owned by CIT leasing, leased to Miami Air, subleased to XL Airways and sub-subleased to GB Airways.

Is there an echo in here?

Anyway, whats the story with the 737-800 in BA colours?

And why is it not quite painted right? Looks like the old, old BA scheme...?
