Dame Thatcher did not like the World tails and very publicly announced it, saying "We fly the British flag, not these awful things."
Virgin Atlantic responded by placing the British flag on the front of all their planes as well as the byline "Britain's national flag carrier". The new CEO of BA caved in in 2001 and announced the fleet would be repainted in the current Chatham Dockyard version of the Union flag so as not to dilute the British identity that was recognised and valued by its traditional customers.
