At least she was preserved mate :thumbsup: That said.. I'm not sure where she is now :worried: Ah.. she went to the Museum of Flight at East Fortune.. phew ;) I blagged my way onboard when she was at Cosford but couldn't remember what had happened to her when they got rid of the BA fleet :cpu:

That's good news. Thanks Dave. :) It appears "our" 111 has found it's way to Kansas City, Missouri USA. I'd wondered why I haven't seen her in Dallas lately. N999BW is now owned by 'Tristar History and Preservation Inc'. http://tristarhistory.org/bac-1-11n999bw/ I imagine they'll take good care of her. :)
