On This Day 19th March 1993.

G-OBWD, British Aircraft Corporation 1-11-518FG, British World Airlines, in basic Dan-Air colours, but with black "British Air Ferries" titles, at London Gatwick, 19th March 1993.
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.
