Hi All,
I was departing ICN on Wednesday and I was surprised by what I thought at first glance was a BA tailfin... but I was mistaken. What do you think:

For comparison, have a look at the genuine BA tail:

So, who's tail do you think this is? Click here to see more of the aircraft

Yeah, I agree they look pretty similar and potentially confusing to some.
I think you'll find that the Orient Thai tail is modelled on Thailand's flag.

In the context of the overall aircraft artwork it makes sense, and with the clouors taken from the Thai flag, I certainly don't think there was any intention of making it look like a BA tail

In fact the cynics could argue the reverse :!: :rolleyes:
