Arguably as the 742 didn't have winglets (and therefore no decals on winglets) this is a truer representation of the retor livery surely!

No doubt about it - she IS a beauty

The Union Jack on the front, under the cockpit window is inverted. Good attention to details indeed.

On the right hand side of the aircraft yes; probably intentionally. Imagine the flag pole is at the front, and the flag is trailing behind in the wind. See the British flag protocol here:

The Union flag on the left hand side of the BOAC aircraft looks 'normal'.

While on the subject of directionality though, the BA 100 logo on the left hand side; the Speedmarque isn't facing the direction of travel it usually does, and doesn't match the direction of the Speedbird on the tail. Minor detail of course.

Whilst I have no interest whatsoever in paint on the outside of aeroplanes, I have to say that looks quite good.

I wonder whether that's because the BA 100 logo comes as a unit with that directionality?

Hi,

At the National Museum of Flight at East Forturne near Edinburgh ,they have the front section of a BOAC 707 and with it all clean and polished the livery looks beautiful

Same here, I’m flying back to London on Wednesday night (on Norwegian *cough*) and will almost certainly check it out as I’ll be at the airport.

Can you recommend a good vantage point at ORD accessible via public transport? (Or Uber/Lyft, I guess)

If you have time to spare you can watch a two-hour live stream from LHR today on YouTube.

The poster is Big Jets TV.

Spoiler alert: nothing much happens for 50 minutes (save for building anticipation).
