    Looking for a specific image of a Speedbird

    I remember seeing a picture of a Speedbird (Speedbird III, I think) onto which somebody had Photoshopped the old BOAC logo. I've searched the forum but can't find it, does anyone remember where it was posted?

    This ? (first pic) https://www.watcharama.com/speedbird-iii-prs-22/

    Or do you mean that the logo was photoshopped onto the dial itself ?

    I think it just had the flash, not the letters.

    Is this for a project Eddie? As a child of the BOAC I'd be very interested.

    It would look pretty cool to have the Speedbird script below the 12 and then that BOAC bird logo above the 6 ... very balanced as well ...

    I'm pretty sure it just had the flash in place of the text.

    Not normally something I'd suggest, but could look nice lummed...

    Probably best to abandon this idea, BA revived the logo in 2019 for the BOAC-livered Boeing 747-400 retrojet.
