If you see on social media a lot of staff have been posting pictures of the special 100 years badge they have been given. Inside are 4 symbols, the landor, BOAC and a couple I can’t remember. I believe one of the BA Smart team has said that retro liveries will be painted on 4 aircraft one for each of the 4 logos on the accompanying card for the centenary badge.

If it's the piece that I think you mean, that features:

Speedbird (BOAC, BA Negus)
Speedwing (Landor)
Speedmarque (Current Newell & Sorrel)

That accounts for 3 of the liveries, plus the current livery. The 4th livery is BEA.

Seems a few employees would rather make a few bucks than wear theirs

I tried to bid Ł0.99, but it seems Ł99 is the minimum. Spin on that, then!

It’s one of the ones that isn’t signed by Alex Cruz, which means it’s worth more!

quite sad that, it's like me selling my 5 / 10 / 15 year ASLEF badges, which I'd never part with

Some of BA's 747s are so old that this is just returning them to the original paint job

I know BA would never do it, but I'd love to see some of the (respected) carriers they closed or took over including BCal, Dan Air and British Airtours - such happy memories!

It seems logical that the A319 will be in BEA livery. The question is, will the wings be painted red?

I do like the idea of the BOAC style 747, very 1970s. Did hunt down a slightly better mockup then the "MS Paint" style one posted earlier



As for the BEA Airbus, how about something like this (yes, I know it's not an A319, but it does give the general idea)

A ZZx in their original delivery livery would be nice, but I guess they aren't going to stay around long enough for it to be worthwhile.
