Hi all, so today I went to Dunsfold Aerodrome, a new airfield for me, with the intention of catching one of British Airways' last remaining 747s, G-BNLY land for the final time. This particular aircraft sports the iconic Landor retro scheme which was used by BA between 1984 and 1997. Fortunately with the help of a small group of aviation enthusiasts she was able to be saved and sent here to Dunsfold for preservation rather than getting scrapped as originally planned.
I found a fairly decent spot where I could witness this iconic and sad event. It was a real lovely touch for the crew og G-BNLY to perform a fly past over Dunsfold before landing. That was great to see.
From now on she will be used here at Dunsfold for film and TV purposes as well as educational needs as well. In my opinion a great outcome for this iconic aircraft.
The last retro aircraft of BA's, G-BYGC (BOAC Livery) is set to leave the fleet next Friday the 11th December and is bound for St Athan where she will also be preserved - With eCube solutions.
Anyway a great day to see this aircraft once more. Landor will definitely be missed by loads. If you enjoyed this video then feel free to leave a like and comment below and subscribe to my channel if you are new
Thanks for watching and take care

Honestly I think that is the best British Airways livery, looks much better than the regular.
Absolutely old school
Ohh for sure
I like the Chelsea Rose livery, but it seems like a lot of people don’t!
@@alvinyip7950 I liked that too.
I totally agree, it just looks classy and timeless
That plane in that livery was why I fell in love w/aviation. The 1st time my Dad took me out to Greater Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania if you're reading this & not from the States), it was to see THAT PLANE. I was 7yrs old & from that point on I was hooked!! BA had 1 flight per week out of KPIT...7pm departure on Sat. Due to my proximity to the airport, I knew when it (at least SHOULD) fly over. I'd lay on the ground in my backyard & wait for it the same way I'd wait for the Goody-Goody (ice-cream man, lol) to drive by, ha. I always knew when it was comin' cuz of the distinctive low rumble of the Rolls Royce engines...no other plane sounded like that at the time. Urgh, she'll be missed. Hopefully we can find a way or reason to save one here & there. Enjoyed the vid as always. 😉👍👍👉
Flew a million miles or more in her for work, my favourite BA colour scheme, thank you for your brilliant video and Thank you Lima Yankee for keeping me safe and sound all these years RIP now ....Jeremy
Thanks for sharing your comment, glad you enjoyed working with LY :)
ANYTIME you can preserve an aircraft, whether a Cessna 152 or an A380, THAT'S SPECIAL!! Glad to see not only this Queen of the Skies preserved, but one in such a classic, BEAUTIFUL livery...brings a smile to my face. 😀.
Even though I'm from America, I feel that color scheme on THAT AIRCRAFT just SCREAMS Great Britain!! Don't ask why...I myself don't know, ha. It's such a beautiful livery. I hope BA finds a way to keep it.
Thank you, this certain aircraft is being preserved here so wont get scrapped fortunately.
Nice video mate. This is my favorite BA aircraft. Sad BNLY had to retire but so good to see it preserved! I will definitly visit it one day
So much better than the plan of getting scrapped. Thank you for the comment 🙂
Thank you Casey - she flew directly over my home on the approach to Dunsfold - a hugely wonderful moment. It is so lovely to see the old BA colours too. Really appreciate you sharing this.
Thank you :)
Great shots. Such a smooth landing that was. Thanks for this
5:07 Amazing capture Casey ! Thank you for sharing with us. Its a great memory !
Thank you my friend :) Landor will certainly be missed by all
A very sharp landing in a short space
Nice one Casey thanks for sharing much appreciated you certainly get around 👍👏🇬🇧
Thank you, haha I suppose I do
So that's what I heard overhead yesterday afternoon!
Thanks for posting.
great video and a very proper send off,salute Landor!
#LandorSaved 🙂
Epic Video...great quality and so well deserved for the Queen of the Skies! Boeing 747! Salute!!
#LandorSaved 🙂
Great video and so glad this aircraft was saved from being scrap. She nearly was scrap 20 years ago at Heathrow after nearly landing on the runway where an A320 was waiting to depart ! Great livery on this iconic bird
Thank you, and wow I didn't know that! Thanks for the info
Superb final capture of this very cool looking livery Casey. I am happy though that she will be preserved.
Definitely, anything better than the scrapper
This is my favorite livery of all time. BA should never have changed it
It really does look best in this livery I totally agree. This was the one I wanted saving over the others
Great to see her being preserved, such a shame she'll never fly again though
It was a tear jerker for sure, but gladly she isn't being scrapped
Really nice catch mate, glad you went there for one last spotting video of this beauty! Hope it will be open to public visits, on my next visit to UK I don't mind to drive some extra miles to visit this Queen!
Dunsfold have said it will be open for visits after Covid for sure, I know I shall be down to see her again. Thank you mate ☺️
@@CPlanespotting You welcome :)
Excellent footage much better filming than what I saw on Surrey Live! - thankyou
Thank you :)
great footage and spot, uninterrupted by wandering people as well, well executed!
Thank you ☺️
My favourite livery of the 747s glad its saved for all to see.
Wow! Super catch man, glad she's being saved 😃
Yeah definitely, but still super sad she wont ever fly again
great video, You really captured the flaps - which I couldn't see from Airside. I'm glad you got down there too :) It was so cold! Totally worth the journey though. I feel very lucky to have been able to get up close to her
Thank you, she definitely put on a great show for us all :)
Great video Casey.
Thank you :)
Awesome video mate...wow so majestic but so sad as well... Keep up the great work 👍🏻😃
Thank you ☺️
great video mate
Thank you
Long live G-BNLY and G-CIVW!
Indeed, and G-CIVB and soon to be G-BYGC
Yep, one of each livery preserved!
First class video 😷😷👍👍
Thanks a lot ☺️
such a lovely village. Many fond memories. Thank goodness i live in Busbridge so can easily visit
Nice well I was at Cardiff airport catching its final departure which I'll be uploading on UA-cam soon 👍👍
I'll stay tuned for that :)
Drove past today… beautiful
Wow I can’t believe that this 747 still exists wow 🤩!!!!!
So glad they preserved it. Try go visit it someday
Me too, but also sad that she will never fly again 😥
@@CPlanespotting exactly. If I was boss of BA I'd personally save them put in storage then fly them off in style for their final journeys until 2024
And hopefully they let you drive around the aerodrome some way or another... (car fans know Dunsfold Aerodrome for another reason.)
I was there. Was impressive to see but sad at the same time. 😔
This was the last 747 I flew on, and unless I’m quick it might be the last I’ll have ever flown on. January 2020 from YVR to LHR, they even had “Speedbird 100” beer on board as part of the centenary!
Great framing on this video.
I loved the lighting at 3:24 where the sun just catches it perfectly.
Also great shot 4:50 where she was lined up perfectly with your camera, almost like she knew you were there.
Are you going to pull some prints from this video?
I aim to take pictures off of it yes and will share them on Twitter and Facebook. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️
@@CPlanespotting @Casey Planespotting hi. Thanks for your reply. Please have a look at 3:24, great lighting at that point
Thanks for taking the time to film and post on here.
If I could give a bit of advice. There was too much big close up, about 95% of your film. It would be nice to give some perspective with some long to medium shots, especially the approach and fly past.
Great video! So good it’s saved! I was wondering where abouts around the airport you filmed this from? Many thanks
A random field near the A281
@@CPlanespotting Ok, thank you, do you know if there is any parking nearby as I’m planning on heading up to Dunsfold soon to try and spot the B747s?
@@jameshowell7197 There is a layby thats about it to be honest. If you wait till 2021 I believe Dunsfold will be opening Landor up to public visits
@@CPlanespotting Ok, sounds good, thank you 👍
@@CPlanespotting indeed they did, have been today to go on her 😀
Once lockdown is over, will the public be able to visit and board her? I notched up a few hours on the 747-400 with BA, it would be great to have a trip down memory lane...
Good picture for the history books
Thanks to FR24, Me also like you ,i've seen the same picture on my smartphone and i can follow the flight fromCardiff to Dunsfold;
Friendly from south of France BZR/LFMU Beziers , Dominique!!!!!
Will the boac 747 be flying from Heathrow to st athan or Cardiff to st athan
Cardiff, flew LHR-CWL on 20th of June
Landor was ba best ....nly has found a good home at dunsfold
For sure ☺️
Wonder what his lap time was?
✈ So sad 😥
Anybody know what the failure was?
I like how BA 747 is the only one which use the RR engine
Qantas used them on their 744s as well Mozard (except the 744ERs)
@@jamesdonaldson2615 What about South African Airways & Cathay Pacific?
All of United’s 757’s have the same model engine, except with 20% less power, and a 10% smaller fan. Sounds the same 🥰… It’s the engine of choice for 757’s. AA’s 757’s all had the same engine too, but AA retired their 757’s during the pandemic :(
What if it becomes a private jet when I own a Landor 747
What a wicked shame these aircraft have been retired far too early
Can you buy one ?
What if Other BA 747 will give it to Avatar Airlines
It's still there in parked mode. I wonder which company does the parking checks or whether BA does the parking checks themselves. I know during covid the Airbus A320 family must have had a single flight once every 3 months I accordance with aviation regs. If this hasn't had engine runs or taken to the skies then it is going to be used as a spare Christmas tree where every component that can be verified serviceable with form one issued against it
Shame really, 4 engine aircraft will become a thing of the past.
0:44 Rolls-Royce RB 211-524G collection.
I heard those engines will be replacing the current ones on LY
☹️
This Ba livery screms posh. The new livery is very plain looking & doesn't even appear modern so to speak.
