Pretty cool commercial.
G-VHOT recently went into the hangars at Filton to receive a special 25th Anniversary livery. The aircraft is scheduled to operate on VS1/2 on June 22nd with celebrations onboard to commemorate the first flight. I would not be surprised if this aircraft comes out of the hangar with a retro scheme.
The other day when I was taxiing at Heathrow I spotted G-VFAB sporting a new 25th Anniversary bubble sticker on her nose.
EDIT: There is still a possibility that G-VHOT is in a special livery but this appears to be G-VHOT arriving in Heathrow today:

Could be G-VWOW though.
So the new scheme is operating flight 1 on the 22nd?Quote:

It would appear that way, Bill. G-VHOT was originally reported to be receiving an anniversary livery in Filton but it looks like the 747-400 above is indeed G-VHOT without a special scheme. Unless the aircraft received some sort of decal today or last night then I would count on G-VHOT or possibly G-VFAB with her new decal.

The flight will arrive at 15:35 on the 22nd.
Either way I'll be ready, unless the rain has something to say about that of courseQuote:

So it was only the decal applied to the left side only. They attempted to give them a water salute but the wind foiled that. Richard Branson was onboard and he deplaned out the back with the rest of the crew. I snapped a few shots but the quality through the glass windows was pretty bad so I won't bother posting them. But they are on my flickr if you wanna see.
