No hard feelings Carl, the c/s you are talking about is on my other post of Air India Snapshot. The only shout by public over that c/s was because it was worst than the current one.

I don’t know why I was under that impression.
I recall there was a colour scheme where AI removed the palace paintwork windows and thought there was a national outcry about this?
As I said “forgive my ignorance” only I do live 4000 miles or so from India.

Nonsense. There is absolutely no religious reasons associated with the paintwork. Why would you think so?

All AI plans say have the phrase “palace In The Skies”. This phrase was taken off when the new scheme was inducted which braught public protests. No, there are no religious regions behind the palace like windows.

Forgive my ignorance – I know the paint work around the window is there for religious reasons but is there any reason why it isn’t on the upper deck windows?

Great pic by the way.;-)
