I agree. Total disregard and arrogance toward the worlds variety of cultures and ethnic Groups.

The Utopia scheme was an inspirational scheme, using art from culture all over the world. From a shantii town in south africa to a sky scraper in new york, from 5 year olds to 90 year old, artists from all walks of life and all ages contributed.

They portrayed beautifull native art from all of the globe.

calling them a mess is closed minded and, to put it simply p!sses me off. I consider such remarks to be racist and typical anti cultural.

I agree… whilst I particularly enjoy the design of the Chatham Dockyard/Lord Nelson flag on the tails. I found the breadth and wealth of design on show amongst the world tails to be a really positive step in helping to make BA’s image one of a global airline.

I remember the press shots of Mrs “the bitch” Thatcher covering up the tail of a model 747 with a handkerchief and was instantly reminded of why the concept of “Britishness” is considered to be so repugnant by so many around the world.

A really narrow minded and tacky stunt I remember thinking at the time.

I think the World cs tails were all brilliant. They made a trip to LHR slightly more interesting. When BA already dominate Heathrow so much, it was nice to see a bit of variation between the planes.
