1:144 Airfix 737-200 Challenge Build - BA Water Dreaming

OK nothing like aiming for the stars for fear of ending up with a handful of dirt so here is the subject of a second Airfix 737-200 I want to model.

After seeing this 26 Decals sheet it jumped onto the CB Bandwagon right behind the Ansett one :

I may just try again to find a "local" kit (seeing the others aren't going to be here until the end of October) to get something under way (although it may take a little while for these to arrive anyway).

Well went looking for some photos of this and didn't find any but interestingly found the "Water Dreaming" scheme on just about everything else!

Looking at another image of the decal sheet on another Site I might have to do some research as to when it actually wore this scheme.

I hit Airliners.net with the rego and found 5 images in the scheme on the decal Rob, 1998-99 timeframe.

Thanks Ray.

I suppose I was just lazy and superficial and put in a Google search for "British Airways 737-200 Water Dreaming". Which I suppose proves how useless Google is these days dominated by those who pay to get their stuff "up front".

The second hyperlink by the way is the same as the first but I used the JetPhotos hint that you gave to search for it and got :
