I liked them especially Chelsea Rose and Benyhone Tartan, I also like the current BA livery but nothing beats the BOAC colour scheme for me.

They gave them G-BNLH, which stood for "never leaves hangar".
Allegedly.

That perfectly describes the reason I was negative towards the change to a tee. Landor was just a fantastic livery. I did like some of the new designs but definitely not all of them

VH-NLH also only wore the Wings tail with Qantas titles for a year or so, it was then repainted white after some confusion at LAX when ATC got in a kerfuffle with it and G-CIVU that was in the same livery.

Personally, I always liked them and they live on in our hallway.
