Throughout the last couple of months, a lot has been written about BA's funny tails.
I can not remember having seen comments on the specially painted Gulf Air machines.
For their 50th anniversary, they painted one aircraft of each type in the fleet (A320-A330-A340 and B767) with a special, arabic calligraphy decoration.
Throughout the last months I've seen all 4 aircraft several times by daylight and I must confess: I love them!
Especially, when you see them parked at Bahrain, sometimes even parked next to each other, basking in a nice sunshine, they are special!
The pictures on the GF website, www.gulfairco.com are definitely not as good as the real ones.

Totally agreed. Those look awsome. Airliner WOrld did an article also called Islamic Art, they just look terrefic. I dunno, i am quite gettin used to the BA tails know. But still quite dislike them.
