HARMONDSWORTH, England,
May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
One of British Airways' fleet of 747s is now featuring a very
special emblem to mark the Queen's Diamond
Jubilee. The celebratory aircraft will be flying its message
of congratulations around the world.
Designed by 11-year-old Blue Peter winner, Katherine Dewar from Chester, the official logo
has been emblazoned on the side of the British Airways aircraft
alongside the words, "Congratulations, Celebrating Queen Elizabeth
II's Diamond Jubilee".
Katherine Dewar said: "Since
winning the competition, it's been like a dream come true to see my
design in so many different places around the UK but I never
expected to see it on a huge jumbo plane.
"I love going on holiday to Florida and hope the next time I do I'll be
lucky enough to fly on this plane so I can look out the window at
my design."
British Airways' Captain Mark
Mannering-Smith said: "As the national flag carrier I can't
think of anything more fitting than British Airways carrying a
message of congratulations to Her Majesty around the world."
