Used to fly alot on the BA 747-200's in the 1980s, the Landor livery was really classic and beautiful. The Catham Dockyards livery doesn't fit on the 747-200 at all.

Credit for this photograph goes to Ken Fielding. G-BDXB was loaned to Nigeria Airways in 1999 and fully painted in their livery. It was then returned to BA for service and, despite the 742s only having year or so left in service with BA, given a brand new coat of paint. This made her the only non-744 to be painted in BA's Chatham Dockyard livery.
