    Great Western Livery

    Just for the record (although off topic); BA doing that inspection wasn't just for TV. It happens upon the delivery of a new aircraft or a refurbishment, just like TOCs do But of course, it's not just something pretty to look at. It's going to be used and abused and scratches and marks are...
