G-BNWH 2 Boeing 767-336ER British Airways (USA World Tail) MAN 05SEP98

Replacing an earlier scanned print with a better version 25-Nov-18 (also the date of the final British Airways Boeing 767 service). Plus Topaz DeNoise AI 17-Jul-21.

 

'Waves of the City', USA World Tail livery.

 

The World Tail Liveries... For most people it was either like 'em or hate 'em (I liked 'em!). The UK's Prime Minister of the day, Margaret Thatcher, most definitely disliked them and drooped her handkerchief over the tail of a large model on the BA stand at a Conservative Conference to show what she felt, in front of the World's media. After that they were gradually repainted into the Chatham Historic Dockyard livery which then became the standard BA livery.

 

First flown with the Boeing test registration N6005C, this aircraft was delivered to British Airways as G-BNWH in Oct-90. After 24 years in service the aircraft was permanently retired at Victorville, CA, USA in Aug-14.
