Passengers boarding via air bridges see very little of the decals on a plane, its only those boarding via the fresh air method who get a fleeting glimpse of a colour scheme.

This maybe true, but you get many Topspotters who will stand around the environs of an airport so they can take photo's and then place them on such sites enjoyed by other Topspotters.

Life's good when you can use your computer to look at Airline liveries you would not normally see from an airbridge!

the sight of BK in her new decals
Does G-OZBK have different decals then to say G-OZBT? What's the difference? Hoping there's some more yellow!

No, the decals are the same, no change to the decals as far as l am aware.
Just a slight variation in the main colours and positioning.
My guess is you will find it hard to notice the difference, it is due out of paint Friday.

Paint Correction

Aircraft is due out of paint on Saturday and not Friday as l previous reported.
I have found out more details of the changes in the paint scheme and would like to correct my previous post.
You would have to be blind to miss the changes that have been made to a/c G-OZBK when it emerges out of Air Livery.
However l am informed at this time, the next a/c will at this time appear in the old livery, but with what is referred to as the billboard titles.

I think it would be nice to see a 1970's retro livery on one of the A321's

I love it. I love the purple on the livery and I think it looks better with the yellow carried onto the tail

Sorry, it's a big thumbs down from me. The yellow, white and purple in that design just do not go together. Big mistake in my humble opinion

Well, its a simple design, but its quite effective plus I think it looks much brighter and happier than the old livery, mainly with the dull crown before

Oh dear. I hope they pull it back in the hangar quickly before anybody sees it.
My 5 year old could paint a better looking aeroplane for his teacher.
Bring back the yellow and indigo. And for god sake, get rid of the Spotty M
on the fuselage.

Still what do you expect with a company now run by consultants and project managers. Everything has to keep changing (not necessarily for the better from what I hear) to keep them in a job.

Was it done by Wolff-Olins by any chance?
You know, the 'London 2012' people.

That's a complete car crash, nothing goes with anything. Utterly amatuer IMHO.

Navy blue or black would work well but that's just dreadful.

I KNEW that I had seen that colour combination somewhere before.
My Sainsbury's 'Necter Card' has just fallen out of my wallet.

It looks like a 'Hed Kandi' aeroplane without the pretty lady on the tail.
