One year ago retro BA 747's
Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:59 am
Got a phone call to tell me that BA Ops had arranged for the 3 B747's in retro schemes plus the B747 that was being flown into retirement that day would all depart Heathrow in a 60 minute period at lunch time. Grab the camera and the car keys:
G-BNLY in the Landor scheme departed as I parked the car luckily it was the only one of the three I had photographed before .... Then G-CIVB lined up.

Off to Wales G-CIVM:

After a short delay G-BYGC departed:
G-BYGC Boeing B747-400 BA 'BOAC' c/s by Keith Heywood, on Flickr
A few weeks later they would all be grounded...
For completeness G-BNLY taken earlier:
