The firefly was London 2012 branded so I guess there was a limited period when it could retain the livery? Possibly BA decided to take it off anyway since the London Olympics are over. I don't think it had the Olympic rings on since BA weren't the official Olympic airline were they?
The Dove livery is BA's own design and doesn't mention the Olympics so I guess there is no pressing reason to remove it until the frames come in for a re-paint.
