The upcoming London Olympics have provided a great
opportunity to British Airways to get creative with aircraft liveries. If a
few weeks ago the "Dove" was unveiled, it is now the turn of the "Firefly", the
Airbus A319 that will fly the Olympic flame from Athens
to London.

Firefly's special livery has required 9 days of work and 250
litres of gold, white and yellow paint. Its name was chosen in a competition in
which students across the UK
participated.
