Well, for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day (A comedy based fund raiser), apart from painting the nose radardomes of some planes red (red nose… get it… no… oh go to sleep down the back), British Airways has redone “The Face”, with the help of Darcy Bussell (from Strictly Come Dancing and in the past, the principle ballerina of the Royal Ballet).

The results… well – have a look for yourself:

Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day is the 13th March. Flying Start collections are made on British Airways flights.
