British Airways retro painting 747-400 in BOAC colors
Sadly as its going to be a G-BY 747-400 we wont see it at the foot of the "empire" here in CPT....only low J models come our way.....by chance was on "VM" down here last night
I'd certainly love to see photos of that. It's strange that a hard-nosed organisation like BA would spend money on something that would have a limited shelf life and no commercial benefit.

In the old days, Southwest in-flight magazine had a centre-spread of the (fully clothed) Stewardess of the Month.
I was living in Vietnam when Vietjet started up. They had an inspired campaign using models wearing bikinis in Vietjet colours. They did photo shoots and also had them dancing in the aisles on one flight. An appropriate government department was morally outraged and fined them 20 million dong! Since that is less than $1000, it was very cheap PR!

From my photo archives. I inherited a large number of BEA/BOAC press photos at the time of the merger. Ironically I had the opportunity to
give BA something in return. The BA press Office in Frankfurt was unable to meet the enquiries from journalists, authors, etc., so I provided
all the photo material from my archives, which I gladly did. For years, and free of charge, of course.

Yes, but, if I remember it right, these were all made from paintings/drawings ( BOAC ). Here we are talking about size 8 x 10 press photographs.
Postcards are a totally different department.
