June 24, 20196 yr Author G-BNLN boac 747 is due to takeoff for its last flight from Heathrow to st athan in Wales to be scrapped. currently delayed until 15.00 UK ( visual landing, weather low clouds at destination) Edited June 24, 20196 yr by MaDDogz Luke Pype
June 24, 20196 yr Author And apparently when it lands, it’s there forever as with its runway less than 2000 ft it can’t take off again 😞 Luke Pype
June 24, 20196 yr St Athan's runway is 6000 feet long. As for the "BOAC" in the title, what's that all about? This is not the aircraft that is currently painted in the old BOAC colour scheme.....

June 24, 20196 yr Author An old livery boac 747 just took off at Heathrow. Like just. That’s what that was about. thanks for clarifying runway length. so boac has now departed, now waiting for GBNLN to go, but delayed. Luke Pype
June 24, 20196 yr Ah, so you were talking about two different 747s? Now I understand. Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
