I understand Maggie Thatcher was incensed. Wouldn't have fancied being the BA CEO on the end of her telephone callRefreshes can also be clangers - some examples above. But who remembers the disastrous BA change when they replaced the coat of arms on the tails with all sorts of different tail designs / colours. They were supposed represent countries or destinations but were just confusing…diluted the BA brand image and didn’t last long.

I really don't like Air New Zealand's current livery with the back silver fern tail.
To me, it just looks really tacky and not reflective of a national carrier.
I loved their "Pacific Wave" livery from the 90's - 2000's , Very classy and stylish I always thought.
