Only a few weeks ago, the first heritage livery – a Boeing 747 in British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) colours – touched down at Heathrow.

British Airways’ third livery will be the iconic Landor design. The next heritage livery to take to the skies on a Boeing 747.

I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
