Regardless of the theory behind it, it just takes away from the beautiful tail work, hopefully they'll consider dropping it.

I've never understood the dot because it doesn't feature on the South African flag...

Yes I agree with you Northwest777, thats the most logical theory like end of an era/new beginning. Anyways they should drop it Smile

I actually think it looks really cool - it has a nice effect. I don't think it adds too much clutter (definitely no room for any other device on the tail scheme though). I for one hope they keep it.
