Livery names.

Roarer · 10-14-2007, 09:17 PM

Please excuse me if this has already been mentioned before, but, being a relative beginner, I have been wondering what the different names given to the BA liveries actually mean, such as Nagus, Landor, etc.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I looked Nagus up on the internet and all I got was a load of Star Wreck stuff

Also, I take it that Speedbird refers to the bird like logo on the original Nagus ones and not to the ribbon thingy on the current livery??

Just showing my total ignorance here, sorry!

I could tell you a lot about certain other forms of transport, but this is largely new to oneself.

Thanks again - I have to admit that I prefer the original logo the best out of them all

Anyway, hope others can help the other question(s).

That's Because You Spelled Negus Wrong. Sir Arthur Negus Developed The Livery Commonly Known As The Red Tail, But The Correct Term Is Negus Quarterjack.

Nagus Is A Noun For A Figurehead Such As A Guru Or King Or Other Head Of State. Hence Star Trek Fictional Character The Grand Nagus, Financial Leader Of The Feringinar Empire.

Ah right, like I say, showing my total ignorance

Thanks for that, and all the other answers already given.

I'll try and keep my stupid questions to a minimum in the future

- just sit back and watch instead.

Not Stupid Questions. The Stupid One Is The One That Doesn't Ask.
Besides I Think We Have Fun Answering. Particularly If They Are as Different As They Are In This Thread.
Now How About Some Narrow Body Landors & Some Bowling Shoes, Preferably DC-10-40s.

No, but I'll need new curling shoes shortly.

Last time I went bowling it was on a Nintendo Wii
