- BA announced in July that all of its fleet of 31 747s would be retired with immediate effect. Today, Tuesday 18th August 2020 is the day when the first of the 9 remaining 747s still based at London Heathrow, G-CIVD; departed for the final time, heading for Castellon in Spain where the aircraft will be broken up.
Here is film of the final taxi, takeoff and climbaway of G-CIVD, from Heathrow. Sadly the road noise obscured the Comms from the Tower but as the 747 disappeared into the clouds, the Tower passed on their sadness at this day; which was echoed by the Flight crew on the 747 who said they were handing off with a "heavy heart". A sad day indeed.
