British Airways has painted one of its B747 aircraft with an emblem and message as part of its celebrations to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
The emblem has been designed by 11-year old Katherine Dewar from Chester, winner of a Blue Peter competition.
The aircraft also carries the words “Congratulations, Celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee”, and is one of several BA initiatives to make the occasion.
Passengers using the carrier’s lounges at Heathrow will be offered “a regal afternoon tea, including a selection of traditional British sandwiches, sweet treats and a special Jubilee blend of tea from Twinings”, as well as a champagne cocktail - ‘Pimms Royale’ - or English sparkling wine, Balfour Brut.
Jubilee treatments will also be available in the Elemis Spa facilities at Heathrow T5, including Royal Rose facials, hand treatments and musclease foot and body workouts.
Finally BA captains will make a congratulatory announcement when arriving into the capital over the weekend of June 2-5.
The emblazoned B747 is one of several BA aircraft currently sporting celebratory fuselages. The carrier has painted nine A319 aircraft with a Dove livery as part of its sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic Games (see online news April 3), and the aircraft which carried the Olympic Torch to the UK was also painted in a special gold ‘Firefly’ livery (see online news May 16).
