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.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a grey belly, and a thin red and blue stripe running along the body, getting wider as it moves rearwards, then sweeping up to fill the tail. The engines, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, are in a bare metal state. The registration "G-OBWD" is visible on the upper rear fuselage. Grey concrete taxiways fill almost all the frame, apart from a red and white banded metal barrier stretching across the top of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The engines are mounted on the sides off the rear fuselage. The plane has a blue and red stripe running along the body, getting wider as it moves to the rear, where it sweeps up to fill the tail. There are blue "Dan Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the registration "G-BDAE" in blue on the upper rear. There is a white circle on the tail, with a 4 pointed compass in the middle, partially covered with a red and white banded flag. Concrete apron area fills most of the frame, with grass bisected by taxiways in the distance.
Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from left to right on a runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and it's nose clear of the ground, the nose=wheel being several feet up in the air, suggesting it is in the middle of taking off. Green grass fills the foreground, with bushes and trees smeared into a blur in the background, under grey skies.
Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is just about to land. There is a thin red cheatline running along the body, and blue "AirWorld" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The engine pods and tail are blue, with a red wireframe globe in the middle. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
