		</div><p>British Airways is to paint four of its aircraft in retro livery to celebrate its centenary.</p>
<p>The first to be given the makeover will be a Boeing 747, which will get a British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) design.</p>
<p>This livery was originally used between 1964 and 1974.</p>
<p>Our history has shaped who we are today</p>

<p>British Airways chief executive Alex Cruz said: “So many British Airways customers and colleagues have fond memories of our previous liveries, regularly sharing their photos from across the globe, so it’s incredibly exciting to be re-introducing this classic BOAC design.</p>
<p>“Our history has shaped who we are today, so our centenary is the perfect moment to revisit our heritage and the UK’s aviation landscape through this iconic livery.”</p>
<p>The BOAC livery will remain on the Boeing 747 until the aircraft is taken out of service in 2023.</p>
<p>BA is celebrating its centenary this year as its forerunner company, Aircraft Transport and Travel Limited, launched the world’s first daily international scheduled flight between London and Paris.</p>
<p>The firm was incorporated into several airlines – including BOAC – until it became British Airways in 1974.</p>
