On This Day 19th March 1993.

G-OBWD, British Aircraft Corporation 1-11-518FG, British World Airlines, in basic Dan-Air colours, but with small, black "British Air Ferries" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and large white "BAF" titles on the tail.
British Air Ferries was in the middle of a massive fleet modernisation project, and took the opportunity to re-brand itself as British World Airlines at the same time - some planes were rushed in to service in their previous operators colours (mostly Dan-Air, after they were taken over by British Airways and almost their entire fleet was retired) with "British Air Ferries" titles, while others underwent a full re-paint into BWA livery.
The registration on the upper rear fuselage, "G-OBWD", reflects this new brand identity - literally "GO BW" and a suffix letter indicating it's position within the fleet.

The red and white metal barrier in the background is visible on a lot of photos from Gatwick's viewing deck - this was to demarcate the taxiway leading to the terminal (this side of the barrier) from the taxiway leading to the runway, which is just the other side.
