- Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 Final Ever Landing Into St. Athan Airport - G-VAST ‘Ladybird’
Welcome to my channel, Bradley Penny Aviation, This is where I will share my Aviation experiences, be it 30,000ft in the air or on a muddy mound on a frosty morning capturing the first wave of departures!
This Video: Today I visited St. Athan airport to see Virgin Atlantic’s G-VAST Boeing 747-400 Aka ‘Ladybird’ on it’s last flight from Manchester! The Landing was as smooth as butter but the nose gear bounced a bit! I had a brilliant day out and I would highly recommend st Athan airport to you!

Bradley well done on 500 subs!! This video has done great
Cool, that's me driving the tug towing aircraft off the runway, never thought I'd be on UA-cam
Dermot Seamer Haha! Wow! That’s awesome! I know working on the tug is certainly not an easy task but you nailed it! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for you’re comment!
Haha! Dermot you are now UA-cam famous! Great driving ;)
MA Aviation - HD Plane Spotting Haha!
Wow you made it on UA-cam! Are you doing meet and greets? Autographs?
Nice video, Ladybird was my first Virgin 747 flight between Manchester and JFK and Tinker Belle was my last, but I did manage to buy the lifejacket from underneath the seat on my last flight (64a) from eCube, it's a shame these glamorous ladies were retired way before there time, thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you ever so much for your comment! Wow that’s incredible, I’m glad you had the chance to fly on one! Take care!
Hi Bradley just saying congratulations on 500 subscribers half way to 1K!!

Cheers!
Wow this looks amazing!
Planespotting Ringway Thanks Charlie, I appreciate you’re support!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video mate!
Great video
Thanks.
Great share, so sad to see the end of these beautiful planes. I was lucky to film one briefly flying near me on its final approach to the cotswold airport the last month. I’d love to watch one from an airport though, that would be awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome mate! I was there for the Corsair 747s as well! Glad you enjoyed mate! take care!
Hi Brad.It was great to see G-VAST depart on her final flight and then for you to catch the final landing at St.Athan, it reminded me of Kemble and may I say you were in the perfect spot.A shame about the wind but at least it was dry.Thanks for sharing Brad,lets see your subs head for 500 pretty soon.Chris
PHANTOM DROPHEAD Thanks so much Chris! It really does remind me of Kemble! Well a mini version! It took me a while to find the spot! It was extremely windy! I almost fell if my car! Hopefully I get to 500 soon! Take care Chris! I’m glad you enjoyed the video mate!
@@BradleyPennyAviation You say to me take care.....you need to standing on the roof of your mum's car in those conditions !!!!-Chat soon Brad 😀😀😀😀
PHANTOM DROPHEAD Well! It well we’ll worth it!
@@BradleyPennyAviation I definitely agree.....
PHANTOM DROPHEAD Yeah! Free to chat at 21:40?
Brilliant footage Bradley. Really great shot to see the men fitting the tow bar - shows the size of the tyres. Well done!
Thanks so much Carolyn! I filmed off of my camera today and to me it looks a lot better!
@@BradleyPennyAviation Yes, it's certainly better than mobile I think. My brother Chris saw this flying really low over their house, before landing at St Athan, which is about 10 minutes away.
Carolyn Richardson Indeed it is! Wow that’s awesome!
Weldone. Good capture
Thanks a lot mate! Glad you enjoyed the video!

AvTom Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed the video mate!
Perfect touchdown 👍 Great catch Bradley - loved and subbed!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed! What a landing! Thanks for watching!
I don’t think the front gear did bounce. Did you see the take off from Manchester? As it took off it did a wing wave so I think when it lands it’s like a little ‘bow’. Just before the gear goes to touch he picks the nose back up then I’m pretty sure he holds for a few seconds on purpose. I have no idea for sure, just a hunch going by the deliberate wing wave on take off.
It was a tiny bounce! I was watching the BIG JET TV stream! It seams at though that happened! The wing wave was really cool! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!
BUTTER
DAMNKERRY1 It bounced at the start! However they recovered with that beautiful landing!

just what is happening to aviation, will it ever return to normal. love to fly and this covid makes it harder for all. was lucky to fly Concorde before retired but never any jumbo. long live the jumbo
I hope it does return back to normal! Concorde? Wow! I have been on a jumbo once when I was very young, I don’t remember it !
Sad sight! I was tracking it land in St. Anthan! Such a shame they are being scrapped!
Aviation. Rail. Adventures. Very sad sight indeed Miles! Thanks for watching!

@@BradleyPennyAviation ba retired the 747 now Frankfurt for us.......
Was sad enough hearing Virgin was going to retire their B747 but now British Airways also following suite. The saddest news in aviation history 😢
It’s so sad, I am hoping to see most of them! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
So sad 😭😭😭
Aviation - Travel World Indeed! Sad sight!
Who would have thought a virus would cause all of this? It is the end of four engined commercial airliners.
Victor Grasscourt I know right! When will it be over? Indeed it is, very sad 😔
Glad you enjoyed!
