Brillant.
Maybe someone on the exec board at BA is indeed an aviation nut and not just a revenue vulture.
Well done BA.

Concur with all.. lovely shots
Incidentally.. one of the Vanguard crew IS on one of the Ian Allan flights.. and I HATE him!
I shalln't mention any names though he deserves all the hate mail he can get

I'm so glad they've done it properly, unlike G-AWNA which was a part job, although the cost or paint on a 747
This will be BA's longest serving type
....that is if you count the present 747-400 as a completely different type to the 100/200 which it is.
They've certainly had their money's worth over the years
They sometimes went to Jersey lifting 188 with barely half the runway......certainly shorter than a One-Eleven's distance.
Anyone familiar with Jersey and the large ob deck..starting at the West end, airborne before the terminal and such a steep climb, never went behind the tower.

Perhaps this may be of interest to you seeing it has a few pictures of the BA 757.
