I want to Thank you for your patience on this video, it has taken quite a while to produce.
There's a fair amount of Wind in this video, so I do apologize for that but I also want to thank ASaviation for helping me figure out how to do the segmented timeline.
Speaking of the timeline, you will notice that it is now split up into various sections so if you wanted to see a particular part of this video, you can do so by looking at the titled time line.
Aviation 18 Qatar only uses the 787-8 at CWL the only time they used the a350 was when it was the inaugural
Thanks AS Aviation!👍
If its windy record the voiceover inside by a window
WAAAAAAAAAT?
I thought it was "India" not "Indigo" the pronounciation of "I"
I retired from flying 747-400 with BA in 1999, & thank you for this tribute for this classically brilliant giant of the skies.
Brilliant video! I am currently working on a new epic comprising 20 years worth of footage and ALL the 57 BA 747-400's. It will online later this year. I too did that walk down the LHR perimeter road with the jumbo's and did an emotional intro for my video.
Thanks man and wow, will you be uploading that to TH-cam because I would love to see that!
@@Aviation18 Yes, I will be uploading to the channel I am using now, around October/November.
Finally i was looking foward to this
Lovely Jubbly, thank you, excellent presentation.
Your voice is very calming and, the scenary was amazing. Thanks! ❤️
Amazing video man! Loved it a lot! You’re very good at editing
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
If you think the hangers look big from ground level you should see them from the roof, we did all the roof maintenance on them a few years ago, they were undergoing the adaptions to accommodate the A380
So cool that you now a lot of aviation history so cool
At the end of August I will be leaving BA, a career spanning over 3 decades. I have operated on all the 747s in your video, however it is the retro BOAC 747 that has a special place in my heart, I was at LHR last February to greet her when she arrived from Dublin, together with my brother and nephew. I was and always will be proud to have worked for BA, 2020 will be remembered for decades, as the most disastrous year for aviation, but I cherish the memories I have. I would love to know where my special plane will end up, due to the covid19 crisis, I never got the chance to say goodbye to her properly, but hopefully I will have a chance to see her one day. Thank you for this video, as heartbreaking as it is,
As a former 30 years plus BA employee i share your interest in YGC . i hope im wrong but i fear they will chop it up with the others.
@@spaphoto9589 I have no doubt you are absolutely right, there is no chance of one of the girls ending up at a museum, it would just be too expensive to look after, every time I go to Duxford I Look at the VC10 and just wish I could afford to have her repainted
Gone but not forgotten ☹️
I love your channel and have been subscribed for more than two years
RIP and Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Excellent presentation! You really know your aircraft! Very impressive!☺️✈️
Just thought I’d say thanks for coming to Cardiff and st Athan these are both my local airports, i frequently come up to see the BA747’s and the ST Athan aircraft. I loved this video!
Ah No worries man and they are amazing airports, especuially Cardiff, I hope I can fly out of CWL soon and Thanks man!
What an amazing video, many many thanks.......We'll miss that amazing BA 747-400......I had the fortune to fly in it from New Delhi to LHR back in december 2013; such a great flight.
Thanks man and that's true, It will be missed!
I worked as an aircraft loader for BA . I have since retired, but seeing all those jumbos brought back some happy memories. I have loaded most if not all of them , remembering the registrations. Sad to see where they have ended up.
So so so sad. Huge respect. So glad you got to see them at least one more time. I enjoyed the great editing. Weather was ideal. I really hope the world can get better.
It sure is 😔 It was nice giving them one last goodbye! Thanks man and I agree, we need some positive news soon
No problem for the help with the segments mate! Glad you added them, I had the same issues myself :D I'm so sad to see BA retire these birds, but ofc I can't really talk since I never had such a connection to the BA Queen. The BA OneWorld 747 is definitely one of the best looking 747's in the sky, glad I have that G-CIVP model as well!
Aha, yeh Thanks again man! They add a lot to the video! It's so unbelievably sad to see it go, it's been such a workhorse for years and it's gone with the click of some fingers... Yeh, That model is great and also very rare so make sure you hold onto it!
Thank you guy for this beautiful and very emotional video. I loved it, as I loved, and still do, the « Jumbo Jet ». I was a teenager when I attended the first coming of a Swissair 747 in GVA Airport :- )
Nice video, very informative history of the 747-400s, thanks!
Amazing to see the plane I have a model of which is the one in the Landor retro colors. Thank you for sharing Aviation18!
Thanks and ahhh yes, I remember you getting the Landor!
Amazing video bro! Loved seeing all the BA 747s, gonna miss them fr.
Thanks man and same!
That’s really good
Amazing ..thanks for sharing this...sad to see .... new subscriber from Canada
Thanks really enjoyed this, can't wait for next one! Gatwick is surely your nearest big airport though, only an hour on the train at least!
G-BYGC was the last aircraft I flew on last August back from LAX and flew on G-BYGG on the way out to SFO. Such a shame but glad I got to fly on both a retro and the youngest in the fleet whilst I had the chance. Great video!
Looks like an amazing video mate! Just about to watch it, saw some of the grounded BA 747s at Heathrow in July. Got some great shots and a great video for my channel!
Thanks man! and that's awesome! I believe you were there around the same time as me, I remember seeing your video on G-XLEC departing LHR and I was there when G-XLEC was there!
Wow what a coincidence!
AMAZING VID WILL ALLWAYS REMEBER THE 747 QUEEN OF THE SKY🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The 747 is American not English
Thanks and I agree!
@@nickybyrne9790 But British Airways is British, I think that's what he means
Awesome vid man, so sad to see the ba747's go such an icon.Can't wait for part 2
Thanks man!
I have no words. ❤️😔✈️
Awesome video man! Sad to see them go :(
Thank You! and I Agree!
Aviation18 You’re welcome man! Yeah same :(
Hi love ur channel
Thank You!
So sad to see! Can't believe that next time I land at LHR there will be no more BA 747 taxiing around and taking-off... Farewell BA 747
It's impossible for my brain to imagine LHR without any 747's
makes me Cry :
Great video! I'm sad to see them go
Thanks and it sure is 😔
Thanks for this and the other video you recently put up. Among others, I flew on G-CIVK. It just seems unreal, all of them with a few years of life yet, the celebrity retro liveries still gleaming, but suddenly all the celebrations are cut short dead. Not even a few last flights of maybe one or two, like Qantas did with their short joyflights moving tributes and farewells to their final two, VH-OEE 'Nullabor' and -OEJ 'Wunala. Aside the fact they have two preserved, a -200 and the first -400, along with a 300 stored that I'm sure will be preserved too. I'd like to think something could be done that one makes a final flight to mark near 50 years of them in BA, and go to a museum for preservation. A big aircraft to preserve, yes, but hopefully.
earlier i was at heathrow admiring all the stored 747s and thought about making a video about all the stored plane (747s in particular) i then can home and saw this video on my subscriptions! ;)
Oh wow, that was convinient!
She is the Queen of the Sky, 747 in all her beauty, her retirement is such a sad thing
I Agree 😔
Given BA had the biggest 747 fleet, I hope BA do something to honour that and celebrate her retirement.
Only done work on G-CIVY a few months ago at Cardiff. Sad to see them go 💔
Nice video👍👍
Thanks!
O have an old book showing a day in the life of G-CIVA. Its nose cone was painted gold and flew athletes back from the Olympics. I was reading the book whilst at Heathrow waiting for a flight and what plane came into land? Yep, G-CIVA right there and rocked up across the terminal.
Aviation18 make one of he best sentimental outro's. Even though I have never flown on a 747 in my life entire life, this is soon going to be a part of the aviation history
Hey just incase your interested, we did Cardiff a few weeks back and got right next to the ones in the distance you can’t see very well from the rental area. They are BYGA and E. it took an hour or so but if you drive into the house estates on the other side of the airfield suddenly there they are. So sad, my favourite aircraft. Last trip although I didn’t know it, CIVP, 5th Jan from Vancouver. We also did LHR this weekend (CIVD wasn’t visible, I’m surprised they seem to be moving them?) and St Athan and Kemble prior. So I’ve now seen as many as I could, without going to Teruel 😆 so sad. Great vid by the way.
Wow...very informative mate. I didn't realise BAs youngest 747 was purchased in 1999!! I knew they had a massive maintenance facility at Cardiff, I watched a video a while back when they filmed a complete strip down of a 747. That was amazing to watch (kids think I'm sad!!) I suppose the object is to get as long as possible out of 50+ 747s (plus other aircraft) so maintenance is the key. I read somewhere a while ago that some airlines will only do 3 strip downs (every 7 years??) then they sell for cargo or retire (21 year?). BA obviously could get that extra 7 years with there maintenance facilities. That's only my assumption!!
Glad you didn't get a ticket at Cardiff!! Lol
I have a model of G-CIVE that i most likely got from a British Airways flight
I flew back from Miami on that last year so glad I did as I knew they were on borrowed time
Awesome!
Sad to see all those 747's go soon :(
Just think what the industry will look like when the Dreamliner is an “old aircraft”
That'll be crazy
Back to proppeler Planes thanks to leftist and libs in politics
B-2 Spirit:
Yeah that would be tons of 787 aircraft
Still think it's criminal that the jumbos are being grounded. Aviation history still needs preserved and I don't think any of these will be kept intact for our future generations of flight enthusiasts to see.
Nice video. I hope Virgin doesn't go bankrupt
Thanks and luckily they went into a restructuring bankruptcy so they should be fine🤞
CWL SPOTTERS WHERE ARE U AT? Like if you have been to Cardiff Airport!
I’d like to go
Same!
😭 I saw the 747s at LHR
First lol great video
Thanks!
Nice!!! It's very sad to see the big one go.
IKR 😢and Thanks!
I always find it so sad when they are scrapped
Yo I have a video on my channel driving past all the 747’s At this exact maintenance hangar! Nice vid 👍
The saddest day in history of aviation. Will never be the same seeing a BA 747. I got Landor 747 in that registration and scale. I flew back from Miami on G-CIVE last year and so glad I did with any B747 400 as I knew they're time was limited
It sure is 😔 and that's awesome! You're lucky you got on one
@@Aviation18 it was bad enough when I heard Virgin retire their B747s but BA bloody hell nearly made me cry
Nice man nice to say a story
Thanks man!
sad to see these jumbos grounded just to be retired.
IKR 😢
Covid-19 the horrible murder of the B747 and the A380...
I did the exact same route obviously not from Southampton and I saw all the 747 and 777 stored at LHR loads of time and when I saw that there getting retired I was not happy I tried getting photos and I hot some but some of them I havent got anymore.Edit: Giving the time this video was uploaded I probably saw you.
what does g-atm stand for?
What a complete waste of such a fantastic piece of iconic engineering. As you say, the aircraft are no age, and many other aircraft types in the fleet are somewhat older. Hope BA will begin to realise what they have done! They certainly will do when customer levels return and they haven't got enough seats over to America with the smaller more compact planes, be too late then. I think your video's are spot-on, I'm truly saddened by BA's decision myself. I think that's what made BA special, the 747, and seeing it flying around majestically in the sky's
It’s so sad seeing all these beautiful aircraft parked up ready for scraping. Even sadder they have four more years of serviceable life in them. I hope G-BYGC can at least be kept as a museum piece, since it was only recently re-painted into the BOAC livery. A sad goodbye to the “Queen of the skies”.
I totally agree, these are very sad times!
Lovely video. Indigo or India? 😉
I saw the BOAC 747 when at Heathrow when I went to London in the spring of last year
Awesome!
It’s so weird to think that you have one of the windows from the first real 747
It was my dream to fly on the BA 747 out of Phoenix...
Ah man, Yeh the phoenix route was iconic
Just a quick question does anyone know the status of G-CIVZ as I have a 1/400 scale model of it and was wondering if it was in storage or had been scraped.
Just looked it up, its one of the ones at Cardiff, Some of the 747's at Cardiff were quite far away and so I probably couldn't see that one
Actually CP Air used to fly Cardiff Airport to Canada in the 80s using 747s
The 747 at 7:42 is the one that caught fire in Spain on Nov. 23, 2020
Hi Aviation 18 I'm 12 years old and if you have any spare models I'll appreciate it for the rest of my life
Why are you asking him to give you models
dude im 13 and u have been colecting since 8 now i have 100 aircraft
Dont wory your collection grows fast if you spend money wisley
....the moment I realized, 90% of aviation 18's comments are from kids.
Buy some yourself there is no way he would waste 50 quid on a kid that will most likely brake the model and if u ask everyone else will ask causing some chaos
Aviator 21 good point
Super sad to see the 747 go
IKR 😢
Watched you vids in reverse order! i like your style and your enthusiasm. BA died when Rob Ayling took over, and we had the famous Maggie incident with the handkerchief! It has never recovered since. Seen as a high priced carrier with poor customer service. Pity there is nobody to take over as the flag carrier!! Thank you, Very enjoyable :)
I really want to get the GeminiJets British Airways 747-400 in the Landor livery in 1:400 scale. Anyone have this model and if so, what are your thoughts on it?
I believe its on AMS if you want it
But everybody loves that plane! Could they not put two GE90 engines on it and keep the fuselage?
I went down there when I went to Heathrow
Awesome!
@@Aviation18 It was sad seeing them all
Could you make a video about your models, from oldest to newest? How can you buy your broken models? How much do they cost?
That's a good idea and I'm not selling my models, sorry
@@Aviation18 Okay, thanks for your time
While it is very sad to see this beautiful aircrafts go out of service before their time it is more important to save as many jobs as possible.
On Friday, thousands of cabin crew lost their jobs, a lot of them worked for the company for decades.
Believe me, nobody is more sad to see these planes go than the crew who served on them and now a lot of them are also gone.
PS the 789 isn’t retiring for good, or the 777s (at least not the 300ERs).
Did you film G-MKGA its a 40yrd 747-200F it was operated by the defunct cargo airline MK airlines at kemble
I sure did, that video will eb coming out tomorrow
@@Aviation18 unboxing the gemini jets model i saw it for £20
Great videos. FYI, In the phonetic alphabet, the letter "I" is India not Indigo.
Victor bravo is now round the corner where the first jumbo is.
I have a Inflight200 of the first Boeing 747 in Boeing House Colors with the decals of all the airlines worldwide had put in for the 747 at the time. I did do a video of my plane when I had bought it last year.
That's awesome, I will have to check that one out!
You need to do something to improve the poor audio quality - perhaps something to. Uffle the wind noise
Second nice vid
Thanks!
747
The 2 people who put a thumbs down is either:
GJ fan
Noticed you said “Indigo” instead of “India”
Hates BA
😂😂
India, not indigo. And sorry to be a bit pedantic, but as a pilot myself it does niggle when people say "I FLEW this aircraft on such a flight", when they didn't fly it all all. They flew ON it.

On the thomsonfly they didn't go bust they just rebranded when they merged the first choise brand. And first choise u can still book them. It's like saying that BEA are bust when they just fly under a different name. They didn't go bust
Good point
Now at the moment wolrd's last active 747-400 has Rossiya airlines
There would be another British Airways 747 as a Cargo Plane
Goodbye Queen of the Skies 😢
You should see the AA planes grounded I hope American will make it threw did you know Virgin Atlantic filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy 😞 but great vid is there going to be another vid thanks man
Yeh, Luckily Virgin went into a restructuring bankruptcy so it will hopefully turn out ok ans Thank You!
Aviation18 NP 🙂 hopefully they will build up back. Are you planning on doing any IF flights I’m flying from Tokyo to DFW my airport this Thursday.
They will all fly again. Unfortunately it’s normally into a boneyard, either in U.K. or the states.
Good job
Did you find G-BYGF which is my 747
Thanks and i dodn't but there were quite a few at Cardiff that I couldn't see
Is ba doing some kind of farewell flight for the 747?
I don't believe so...
Great video but your phonetic interpreration is slightly wrong, it's I for India and not Indigo. 😉
Uniboxing 737 gol a320 latam embraer 195 azul brazil planes and airlines
I want a Gemini jet I don’t even have one I only have paper made Gemini jets
You should try and get one, they're super worth it!
Ok
747 :(
Flew on G CIVC Heathrow to Las Vegas. Was surprised how bad it all was. No USB port small ife screen with poor picture, just a really poor set up. Compared to Virgin Atlantic 747s........or delta. Oh yes delta. Want to fly with them again.
Hey remember me? Its been a long time ago but we have been talking to eachother in the past. I always said do you remember me in every video
Hey!
26k subs is something im never gonna get. Congrats
