Very impressive footage Casey ! Beautiful landing and wet reverse thrust. You probably waited for ages for her arrival. Nice filming. Thank you for sharing with us !
Great video! Glad you caught the final landing of G-CIVB! So sad to see all the other the aircraft being stored/scrapped there. Luckily this one won’t meet that same fate.
Likely because BA are receiving newer and more efficient aircraft and the last one was due to exit the fleet in 2024, so even if they did get back into service, they would have been gone in 2-3 Years anyway and the other expenses will have meant that it wasn’t really worth it for BA to keep them, no matter how worth it is for us.
Because this aircrafts make no business sense at the moment, and I doubt it will ever take off again! I love this aircraft too, however survival is much more important.
Had so many brilliant flights in the 70s/early 80s on BA 747 classics in Negus livery to the Caribbean and Seychelles. Fantastic meals and superb service with British Airways. Now retired from the airline industry at nearly 70 years of age.
Such a fantastic video. Once again, thank you so much for letting me be a part of this video. It's a true honour. I can tell by how teary people are when they saw the 747 landing and pushbacked by Kemble. A big thanks to all the Kemble staff for letting the enthusiasts go to the airport and watch this special moment. And great video Casey!
Today was a truly sad day to see these amazing aircraft go, I got soo emotional watching them both lift off and watching G-CIVY doing the flyby over the runway😢
Beautiful video mate. Emotional times for sure. Who would have thought that the BA 747's would actually retire earlier than the KLM ones! Crazy... I'm gutted I never got to fly one of the British Queens. That was an incredible landing, and really well filmed. Historic scenes I'd say, especially when the Union Jack came out. I hope Negus will enjoy a nice retirement. I also hope that Landor and BOAC won't be forgotten and that they find a nice place to stay too. Great idea to collab for this one!
Fortunately, Kemble is now G-CIVB’s new home! Hopefully we’ll hear about the other retro 747s soon. If the other two happen to be preserved, I wonder if BA’s retro A319 might get the same treatment when the time comes? Excellent footage :)
Hello, do you have any idea on the fate of G-BNLY (if you are not aware the G-BYGC BOAC will be transported to St Athan to be kept), delivering the Landor to its fate.
Excellent work Casey great idea to combine both videos the guy who filmed at Heathrow did a great job in very difficult conditions, very emotional day for all concerned 😔🇬🇧✈️👍
🙁 taken 4 artic bulkers , 3 weeks to take away 3 of them from st athan Cardiff and one virgin one to derby where they get shredded! We then reload the shredded aluminium and take it to Swansea where they become alloy wheels!! As a shell got 150 tons of ally outa of it . Some goes on container to China for fridges etc. Totaly recyclable , but as a plane fanatic myself took loads of pics and Sat in them before destroyed by 30 ton machine . I've never had chance to fly in one ! But from cockpit at least 30 foot of ground and wingspan amazing. Traveling from kemble / athan last 3 weeks to derby no one woukd know 747 in pieces on bk of my truck 😥
Fortunately not so, the guys flying these aircraft on the day are now in a holding pool to retrain onto other types within BA. They may not necessarily stay as long haul pilots though.
I can understand ,this adulation ,concerning the exiting of ba's 747 fleet but as others in the comments section have stated, it was going to happen anyway eventually, i have see many other types of aircraft come and go during the course of time, in the ba fleet as well, vanguards viscounts comets tristars etc etc, klm amongst others inc air france have also deposed of there 747's, all these are aging aircraft now and they have had their innings, it will be interesting to see if there will be so much sentimentality when the time comes for thr 787 and 350 to be retired, as a friend of mine stated once nothing lasts, and its a thowaway society that we live in , it reminds me when one purchases their dream car, and then eventually that will end up on the scrapheap, reminds me of mine, probably tin cans by now!!all the same a bit sad.
Very impressive footage Casey ! Beautiful landing and wet reverse thrust. You probably waited for ages for her arrival. Nice filming. Thank you for sharing with us !
Thank you my friend, glad you enjoyed it
A truly sad day to be a British avgeek! Excellent footage of Negus' final moments in the air. So glad it's going to be preserved.
Thank you Ross, yes its great news about the preservation, lets hope for similar for the other retro jets
Yea because it was possibly the last time this aircraft and others to run under there own power
Every time a 747 makes it's very last landing, an angel gets their wings.
cringe
Great video! Glad you caught the final landing of G-CIVB! So sad to see all the other the aircraft being stored/scrapped there. Luckily this one won’t meet that same fate.
Fortunately so, it definitely is a sad sight at Kemble. Thanks for watching
Amazing video Casey, it's been such an emotional day for aviation 😞 Thanks for bringing this moment to us.
Thank you, definitely an emotional train wreck
2 years on and she’s still serving her passengers well with Santa dinners aboard her
Why is British Away getting rid of the most iconic aircraft in British Airway's histroy. The 747 fit perfectly with that airline

@@gamingplanespotter9209 oh but they have kept these aircrafts running in the skies forever and that makes sense. About the expenses
@@glogmat survival is everything yes. But this aircraft whenever I heard it take off in the videos always gave me chills
maroon5 fan6593 unfortunately our chills do nothing to BA’s bank account...

She did well with all the other girls! She will always be Queen of the Skies 🇬🇧
Always a queen ❤️
Fantastic video mate! Very sad to see her go...
Indeed

Great spotting video Casey. This is certainly a sad time in the aviation world.
It definitely is, thanks for watching
Imagine being the last pilot to fly the BA747
Today was a truly sad day to see these amazing aircraft go, I got soo emotional watching them both lift off and watching G-CIVY doing the flyby over the runway😢
It was an iconic moment and a defining day in the history of aviation, so sad

Awesome bird...but a sad day, indeed. Thank you for filming her last moments in the sky. :)

RIP BA747 (1989-2020)
Brilliant video, I was there too. Weather was pants!

An historic day indeed but who was the clown above the flight deck who displayed the Union Flag upside down.
2:42 you can see Big Jet TV truck there
I saw her depart over my school. 😭 Bad weather made it hard to see tho. 😭😭😭
She still had another 10 years of life left in her ( this actual aircraft). It makes me feel very sad to see this
Me too, very very sad
Awesome!!!!! So sad to see them retire
Thank you :)
Retiring them is sad, but SCRAPPING them? What's the point?
2:43 Big jet TV always at good place at good moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice video mate
Thank you
Nicely done video. I just wish another airline would buy these planes. Even if it is a cargo airline.
Although livery originated in the 70s its total class, now paint the rest of the fleet in this colour scheme ba!!
this was a fun day as i saw int butter at kemble
Well done greta.
this is the first time i saw a video launched the same day
Anyone Noticed Big Jet Tv In The Vid
Cool 👍
It would be great if they could keep a one world ba a normal ba negus boac and landor and bea from scrap
Sad day 😢
British 747 leviry full flight

Best of British
Well at least shes not going to be recycled as bake bean tins .
Sadly the pilot is also likely out of a Job
