VS B744 G-VHOT – Livery Query

Dear All

I wonder if anyone could help me. Whilst i was at Heathrow a couple of weeks back i captured the following aircraft

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6016923&nseq=20

I flew on VHOT just over 12 months ago and when comparing pictures taken then and now, i noticed there was something missing.
Just below the cockpit windows there is usually a picture of a young lady carrying a british flag – I also havent seen this on any of the other VS fleet.

Just wondered if anyone in the no could explain

Many thanks

Adam

Why not just put a veil on her and then she could be a belly dancer. They don’t complain about that do they!:D

Its missing because a certain religion doesn’t like scantily clad women to be seen. So to fly into those countries in the middle east they had to remove said women from there aircraft .

Shame, looks quite bare without it, or something to fill the space again.
