Here's an updated sig for you Ian. No need to say thanks!
Their words, not mine. :think:
I like the red tail scheme.
I'll concede that golden BOAC belongs on the VC10. Like BEA high speed jack belongs on a Trident.
Just felt a sudden panic that there were no red tails left, until Vegas calmed me down by mentioning Wroughton.
So long as one survives somewhere, that's all that matters.

Yes, it certainly would be good to see a 1-11 in red tail.
Perhaps Duxford will do the honours when theirs is next in for painting.
Yes Landor & many others must have suffered from the fact that nearly all of the good ideas had been done by then.
They had to resort to doing something different & once the novelty wears off it usually looks a bit naff.
That whole 'grey top' period was a real low point in livery design in my eyes. :huf: Then it was anything but straight lines.
I wonder why those retro painted ones nearly always look great?
Yep, all white + logo was ok, but rather overdone.
That United scheme has to take the prize for worst livery in airline history in my opinion, hideous beyond belief.
BA red tail - forgot the new Concorde exhibit at Brooklands too!
Now that's certainly the best livery to show a Concorde in. :bigrin:
Thanks Garry, yes I do vaguely remember that now. 'Orrible! But a certain novelty value.
For some reason I was imagining just the top part of the tail being silver (instead of red), not the whole top.
Glad none of my models ever wore that scheme cause silver is way too hard to paint in FS.
