The story behind the livery
By 1983, Philippine Airlines had firmly established the BAC 1-11 sr.500 as a workhorse of its domestic network, linking Manila with cities across the Philippine archipelago. The airline was navigating a turbulent period in the country's history, yet continued expanding its routes and modernising its fleet. The 1983 livery represents a transitional moment in PAL's visual identity — distinct from both the 1975 and 1985 schemes — and captures the airline mid-decade in a colour combination that is rarely seen on model shelves outside the Philippines.
Together with the 1975 and 1985 variants, this decal completes a trilogy documenting Philippine Airlines' evolving livery across an entire decade of BAC 1-11 operations.
