Thank you, guys!
We took off from Newark on April 16 with 2.5 hours delay due storm but strong wind/rain did nothing to that dirt.
So it was good one.

Turns out that G-RAES wasn't always that dirty: http://www.airliners.net/photo/British-Airways/Boeing-777-236-ER/1356011/L/&sid=1f594317225f8e75ee2d5dbb2877afd6

Good catch Aiden! That means they did not wash it for 3 years (at least). Another British B777 I flew was neat and clean. I can't imagine why they do this with G-RAES.

Well G-RAES almost spells "grease" so that may explain that...

BA really need to get out to clean G-RAES if they have already got G-VIIH.
Here's another shot of RAES taken about 6 months ago. You can see from the underside of the flaps and the engine cowling that it still hadn't been cleaned.

Edit: Another shot I found on airliners.net, showing N701DN's wing. Note how dirty the flaaps are.
