Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a deep blue belly, and deep blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage under a red and blue twisted ribbon. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same deep blue. The tail is also blue, with complex white scrollwork over the top. Green grass and taxiways fill the foreground, with more in the background leading off to a grey concrete wall and trees in the distance, under dismal grey skies.
