BA Landor 747. The FIRST & LAST flights. 1st Landor pax flight 9.3.19. Last landing- Dunsfold.

It seems like another lifetime ago when British Airways announced as part of their BA100 celebrations, that 4 aircraft would be re-painted in historic "retro" liveries belonging to their predecessor airlines. The first aircraft to be rolled out in historic colours was BA 747, G-BYGC in the BOAC retro livery and I was lucky enough to film the first passenger departure of this aircraft back in 19th February 2019 as G-BYGC took the BA 117 morning New York service from Heathrow's Runway 27 Left. See    • BOAC BA RETRO LIVERY 747 - FIRST PASS...   The BEA retro Airbus A319 G-EUPJ followed, entering passenger service in the new colours on 4th March 2019 and I first filmed this on the Saturday 9th March - see    • BEA RETRO LIVERY AIRBUS PLUS "OLYMPIC...   The third retro scheme to come out was the "Landor" livery, which was applied to one of BA's older 747s, G-BNLY - which ironically was first delivered to BA in the same Landor livery back in 1993! This YouTube film is taken on the first day the newly "Landor" painted G-BNLY entered back into passenger service on Saturday 9th March 2019, departing with the BA 211 service to Miami, scheduled to leave at 16.05. The aircraft was late being towed from the Maintenance area to the passenger terminals, so as a result the flight was an hour and a half late leaving; with the daylight fading fast by the time the aircraft was lined up on 27R. My friend and fellow spotter James Botting (James Botting's Airliner videos) was also filming and very kindly agreed to share his material for part of the takeoff run for this film - as my camera "froze" at the critical part just as LY was accelerating towards us for takeoff..Big thank you again to James. And then fast forward by 21 months - with COVID ravaging the aviation industry and the complete retirement of the BA 747 fleet, we see the LAST flight ever for G-BNLY, as she makes her final landing at Dunsfold Aerodrome on Saturday 5th December 2020...who could have known how this would have ended back in March 2019? Fortunately the Landor 747 (as well as "Negus" G-CIVB and BOAC G-BYGC) live on, now preserved - more of this to follow!
