"N495MC one of Atlas Airs fleet of 747 freighters, received full British Airways World Cargo colours in April 1999 for the operation of three services per week between Stansted and Hong Kong. This is the only747 freighter , since the sale of G-KILO in 1982 to have flown in the airlines colours" ...source "British Airways Its history, Aircraft and liveries" by Keith Gaskell 1999.
Just a shame the tail art is wrong...should have been the Chelsie Rose.

Glad you liked them mate...very old freeware models, but I think they showed up reasonably well.

If anyone is wondering why Air New Zealand passenger 787 plane is included in this all cargo thread consisted of all cargo planes, it is because during Paramedic few years ago, all airlines were using passenger planes as cargo by loading packages onto passenger seats and overhead luggage racks or trays to continue generating revenues during the Covid crisis which prohibited passenger travel by air.

The last screen is a "what if" shot .....showing an A-350 in Air New Zealand colours , I just threw it in at the last minute.
However, your information regarding freight being carried in passenger cabins is of course correct ...those were strange days indeed.
Thanks for looking.
