Of course they can repaint it. It's not like it cost £900,000 is it?It's only a transport plane, they don't fly these things in areas where the colour of the thing is likely to be a problem and if it was, they can soon repaint it.
“The design is correct in all respects and carefully follows the correct protocol for displaying the Union Flag on an aircraft. The convention is for the flag design to appear as though it is flying from a flag placed on the nose of the aircraft, as it travels through the air. When viewing the starboard side (right hand side), this can give the mistaken impression that the design is backwards, or upside down, when in fact the observer is simply viewing the reverse side of the flag.
A keen eye will notice that this convention has been consistently applied on all flags represented on the aircraft, including on the Union Flags on the two forward-most aircraft doors. This protocol is not unique to the UK, a simple on-line search for images of the United States’ Air Force One starboard side will show that an identical convention has been followed.”
Since it now just looks like any ordinary BA plane. Couldn't they just have one on permanent loan, as BA won't be using them all anytime soon. Or it could be a way of paying a bit back to the taxpayer for any bailout.
BA haven’t really taken any bail out, apart from maybe some furlough money - certainly not like the €10bn that Lufthansa got this week. And besides, they’re actually a subsidiary of a Spanish company (IAG) these days.
It is correct. The flag is always flown with the broad stripe at the top, next to the staff. The picture's in the press are the reverse side of the flag on the off side of the aircraft.That is one thing that boils my p155, folks who patriotically want to fly the flag, but can’t get it the correct way up.
Unbelievable that is on Boris’ plane.
Looks good, some folk will politicise anything. What would they have our PM turning up in at international meetings, a cessna 172 with go faster stripes? Have some pride.
Our flag should be on a lot more things now we have thrown off the shackles of slavery to the EULooks good, some folk will politicise anything. What would they have our PM turning up in at international meetings, a cessna 172 with go faster stripes? Have some pride.
