Covid casualties - British Airways B.747s at Kemble

[andygolfer]

Covid has brought about the demise of British Airways' mighty Boeing 747 fleet after 49 years of operations, they were one of the last major operators of the type. These are 5 of 7 currently stored at Kemble awaiting their fate - probably at the hands of the scrapman although BA hope to find new owners for some.
In order going down the line they are G-BYGB, G-BYGF, G-CIVL, G-CIVJ and finally G-CIVN

Very sad to see. Back in January I did a little trip hoping to fly on an A340, A380 and a B747 from London to Dubai via Madrid. Iberia let me down replacing the A340 with an A330 but I managed to fly Emirates A380 from Madrid and then a few days later a BA B747 back to Heathrow. After what has happened since then I'm eternally thankful I made the effort as such a trip would be nigh on impossible now.
