Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2023 11:47 am
various aviation sites have reported that the BOAC liveried B747 of British airways is being scrapped at St Athan
Scramble are reporting it here: https://www.scramble.nl/civil-news/brit ... 7-scrapped and there are also reports on Simple flying and other sites
here's a couple of pics that I took in 2019 after it was painted in the retro scheme, the top one taken on 19th Feb was it's first service in the new scheme:

bit of a shame as the new owners had intended to preserve it at the time.
