And so to the main event of the day, Kemble.
The 747 has been my favourite aircraft ever since I got interested in aircraft. I must have spent weeks watching the BA 747s coming and going from Heathrow, starting with the -100 and -200s, and progressing to the -400s, so I wanted to see some of these magnificent aircraft for possibly one last time.
BA may have been the objective, but the scrapyards were full with all sorts of aircraft. This Corsair 747 was keeping an eye on things:
I had last seen this Plus Ultra A340 at Barcelona in happier times:The A340 was at the head of a line up of BA747s. I had seen lots of photos of these aircraft lined up by the road, but it was still an impressive sight, and being able to get so close allowed you to really get a sense of the size of the 747:
747s were all over the airport though - these two were making friends with a Saudi Arabian / Air Atlanta example:
The airport had a real sense of melancholy hanging over it, but hopefully the several Norwegian 737s will fly again:
