GJ B777 Alternative Delft Utopia Schemes

hugo · 12-10-2007, 10:03 AM

Just completed a couple of GJ B777s in BA Utopia world tails and invite you to see how the design can differ even in the same fleet!

G-RAES and G-VIIU with the Delftblue Daybreak theme of the Netherlands for your comments -

Nice work.

The Netherlands World Tails always have been my favourites. Especially like the windmill.

Nice work!!!

Speedbird91 · 01-21-2008, 02:54 AM

Where can I get these Hugo?
Through your store perhaps?

hugo · 01-21-2008, 03:15 AM

These are special 1:400 orders so you would need to contact me direct on hugo@cwgsy.net to discuss

Hey Hugo do you know the name of G-BDXO before she got Indian tail, and how is XB Going?

hugo · 01-21-2008, 05:23 AM

Chard · 01-21-2008, 06:30 PM

So she was Paithani even in Landor?

From what I can see she was never in Landor - though the photo you show says it is XO I can find no other at present - so basically dunno!

Chard · 02-13-2008, 12:17 AM

This missing 742 from your list.

"G-BDXA of Peterborough"
"G-BDXD of Plymouth" pre 97
"G-BDXO of Bath" pre 97
"G-BDXP of Salisbury"

hugo · 02-13-2008, 05:38 AM

Great - can I ask where you got the details from? I'll add them to my list.

I have G-BDXA as City of Cardiff and G-AWNA as Peterborough - can you confirm

Your goodies airborne today 13/02/08

Chard · 02-13-2008, 02:21 PM

Well as you would know the 741 before 1989 had names of vairous cities, but when the 400's came in they took the city names and the 100's got Water/lake names.

They first 400 got the following:

G-BNLA - London
G-BNLB - Edinburgh
G-BNLC - Cardiff
G-BNLD - Belfast

Quite PC I guess. So XA Couldn't have been Cardiff, XO was the only one missing from my list I find I found it in this month's Wings World! It would also explain Why G-BDXH changed It's name from Edinburgh to Elgin

hugo · 02-13-2008, 03:03 PM

have sent you a copy of my list of names which came I believe from an engineer with BA, or someone who had collated a lot of data from just before the Utopia schemes came into general use.

Chard · 02-13-2008, 10:10 PM

Thanks Mate, Didn't have many of the 400's on my list or the 100's orginal names. I find it quite funny there are two "City of Bangor".

Just a few more to come:

G-AWNE Derwent Water
G-AWNM Ullswater
G-AWNN Lowes Water
G-BBPU Virginia Water
G-BDPV Blea Water
