The story behind the livery
By 1986, British Airways was well into its privatisation era and the HS-748 was approaching the end of its service life with the airline, being gradually replaced by more modern regional turboprops. The 1986 livery represents a subtle refinement of the Landor scheme introduced two years earlier — small but meaningful changes that mark this as a distinct variant in its own right, and one that captures the aircraft in its final active years on British Airways' Scottish and regional routes. For completists and British Airways specialists, this is the essential finishing piece of a decade-long livery story told across three Memodec decals.
Collected together, the 1976, 1984, and 1986 BA HS-748 decals document the full visual history of this type with one of Britain's most iconic airlines.
