The last retrojet painted for BA’s 100th anniversary has left the paint shop wearing the Negus livery used by BA between 1974 and the early 1980s. I think I like this one better than the Landor retrojet.
Still bummed that they didn’t paint up a British Caledonian 747.

The very first widebody I was ever on was a British Caledonian L-1011, leased by Aer Lingus when they first started service from Newark to Ireland in the 90's. I remember getting on this huge (to me) plane, with an old 70's interior, and thinking “there’s no way this thing is getting off the ground.”
One of the smoother flights I’ve ever had.
I also remember the looks of some of the Irish passengers as we waited to board, they were a bit miffed at being on a “British” plane instead of one with a shamrock on the side !

L1011s are probably the most comfortable riding airplane of that era.
Aer Lingus really needs to do one of its A330s in their 80s scheme:
