The Dove - British Airways - what?!

[boxtops]

Did any of you just see this on the news - British Airways are painting their fleet to look like Doves, to celebrate the Olympics? What?!

Are the travellers going to have to pay more to fund this? It seems daft to me.

I think it's a splendid idea - not that I'm into the Olympics - but if we're going to do it, let's do it!

[DTCwordfan]

what's wrong with that, the gold being symbolic of the 50 medals we will win.

[Prudie]

I like it, touch of concorde

[ChuckFickens]

I think it looks pretty good (especially considering Tracey Emin was involved)

Although I don't think they are going to paint their whole fleet, this is one of 9 planes that will have an individual design each.

not the entire fleet, nine out of 234.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Dunno mate but it's not Superman.

[anotheoldgit]

I think it would have been more appropriate to have made them look like vultures.

I have seen the pictures of the A319.

I am hugely unimpressed.

She looks frumpy and lumpy...and that was her done up for the cameras!

[Nibble]

^Sorry, Messi, looks like a normal A319 airplane to me, weird paint job, but the same shape, etc. ;-)

[boxtops]

who looks frumpy, the plane, or Tracy Emin?

It was some bloke in a bow tie designed it, not Tracy....

[pastafreak]

She mentored the artist who designed it.

[vulcan]

Is it a bird ? no, is it a plane ? yes, is it a mess ? yes.

[boxtops]

He signed the plane, though.
