Poppy Appeal 2003 #5

Poppy Appeal 2003

The Royal British Legion

G-BOAF

Concorde

British Airways [+]

2003*

The Royal British Legion is a British charity providing financial, social and emotional support to members of the British Armed Forces, veterans and their dependants. The poppy is their logo, as WWI created prime conditions for poppies to flourish in battlefields in Flanders and north-west France. The flower became the symbol of remembrance when Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae wrote the In Flanders Fields poem, which was widely shared in the English-speaking world. The decals were applied in time to commemorate Remembrance Day on November 11th which marked the end of World War I in 1918.

The 2003 "Poppy Appeal" video campaign was recorded in Heathrow with a decal added to BOAF just days after the last flight of the type.

Air Canada created the Kids’ Horizons (Horizon Enfance in French) program to focus on charities that benefit young people in Canada and around the world, with a kite as a logo. In 2012 Air Canada created its own foundation to replace the program. FYJD was in the 1990s standard scheme when unveiled in Kids Horizon livery in 2003. This was later changed to the transition scheme (white fuselage and Frosted Leaf tail). GBHZ & GBIP sported the full Frosted Leaf scheme during the period.
