garryrussell Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 There was, for a short while, a lot of speculation that BA would adopt a new livery for the A.380 and 787. Nothing based on fact that I could see and this dispels any thought of that. The other two BA 380's flying both have these tails and engines on the primer so it looks set to stay for now. It does look rather smart. The 380 is not a shape that wears some liveries very well. A bit like a large lady wearing clothes made for a slim teen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 That is a very nice looking paint scheme, I hope they start doing long haul flights to Australia with them, I so want to fly on an A380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Yep, I saw it being slowly put together at Toulouse before it departed for the full paint job in Hamburg. There is some amazing stuff down in Toulouse at the moment, with Malaysian Airline's A380 almost ready as well as this that did a slow flyby down the runway...

Albeback52 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Well, I'm going to be the first to disagree here & state that I think it actually looks rather bland. I don't like that BA paint scheme - especially the silly looking flag on the tail. However, that's just a personal view. I think that the BA fleet looked its smartest in the Landor scheme. However, at least it's not as dull and unimaginative as the Air France livery!! Allan Edited April 6, 2013 by Albeback52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have to agree. BA's livery is particularly dull, but don't forget it was designed with those ridiculous tail schemes in mind. It would be an improvement if they could curve the blue up towards the tail, paint the tail blue and alter the flag to reflect the new background. Just my opinion, but it is good to see the A380 in BA colours at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jase Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I've flown on the Emirates A380's 4 or 5 times now and it's a great aircraft, but I have to say I find that BA livery very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Edinburgh too! But then, I'm biased - I LIVE here!! Hope we go get a chance to see one though - despite the boring colours!! We had an A380 doing a circuit & flypast 4 years ago. Apart from Concorde's final flight, I have never seen so many people around the airport! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are BA going to buy the 747-8? I rather like the 747-8. There is some'at overly bulky about the A380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the 747-8 cargo version but not the passenger one. There was a rumour about a purchase but nothing came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
