Watch paint dry: BA to OpenSkies in 90 seconds

This is the first British Airways Boeing 757-200 – line number 665, G-BPEK – for transatlantic subsidiary OpenSkies undergoing a time-lapse transformation into its new livery.

Out goes the familiar blue on the under-fuselage and Rolls-Royce RB211 engines, replaced with white and shades of pale grey. Note the newly-fitted winglets, and twinned European Union and US flags on the rear fuselage, alongside the clarifying strapline ‘From British Airways’.

All BA needs now, of course, is to find a few pilots willing to fly it.
