British Airways Nose to give comic relief

As I sign off for the week, a light hearted story from British Airways with a serious intent.

There will be Red Noses on the ground and in the air at British Airways this week, in support of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day on 13 March.

Staff will be encouraged to Do Something Funny for Money, by wearing Red Noses, and the airline has also painted Red Noses on a long haul Boeing 747, and two short haul Airbus aircraft.

The airline is asking all eagle-eyed photographers to send their uploaded pictures of the British Airways Red-Nose planes in flight to its Twitter page.

Comic Relief spends all the money raised through Red Nose Day to give extremely poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa a helping hand to turn their lives around. For more information on Red Nose Day, go to their website www.rednoseday.com.

In this spirit of giving, I seek your support of Bangalore Aviation. Advertising income is donated to the Rotary Club of Bangalore for education of under-privileged gifted children. It only takes a couple of seconds of your time.
