Although I hated the ethnic schemes, and the whole idea was a marketing disaster, I did think that ‘Bennyhone Tartan’ was the best of a bad lot. I realise that the timescale is way and that the livery was around way before flyglobespan came on the scene, but it’s a pity that flyglobespan didn’t have the oportunity to adopt that as their livery. A lot better than the current ‘g’ scheme. Just a personal thought.
I don’t think parochial marketing works within a UK perspective ? Take Air Scotland and Air Wales as examples…
The only two airlines to wear a Scottish saltire on the tail have both been something of a disappointment. As much as I’d love to see more of a Scottish identity on GSM planes, I think they’ve hit the right mark with their “global” branding.
As for the BA utopia tails… a brilliant piece of work and down to those who who disagree. 😉
