British Airways Boeing 747 FULL TOUR - LANDOR Experience Event - Dunsfold Aerodrome - 26.06.2021
G-BNLY
History...
The retro-liveried British Airways Boeing 747 aircraft G-BNLY took up up residence on the airfield on 5th December 2020, where it began its new life as a TV and film set.
The retired British Airways 747 departed from Cardiff Airport and flew into the Aerodrome in Surrey.
Since entering the British Airways fleet on 1st February 1993, the aircraft affectionately known as the Queen of the Skies, operated 14,016 flights and flew for more than 122,358 hours over nearly 60million miles. G-BNLY’s last passenger flight was from Cape Town to Heathrow on 22nd March 2020. The aircraft also has the famous Landor livery.
The iconic British Airways ‘Landor’ livery was designed by Landor Associates and used between 1984 and 1997. As British Airways prepared for the privatisation that would take place in 1987, a new livery and fresh corporate identity was created. A key part of the design was incorporating the best of British Airways’ past while being innovative and recognisably British. The quartered Union Flag on the tailfin was retained from the previous ‘Negus’ livery and the addition of the Coat of Arms against the midnight blue was promoted as a ‘touch of class’.
The Speedbird symbol, that had been ever-present on British Airways and aircraft, was stylised to create the new red Speedwing; which was designed to become an integral part of the livery and synonymous with British Airways.
Fast forward to today...26th June 2021...we had the opportunity to look around the inside of the aircraft and have access to all areas outside of the aircraft...which enabled us to take this footage and to take in the aura of this magnificent 747-400.
This event was a pre-booked ticket only experience, so we were very privileged to have been able to attend this first ever public experience day with a British Airways Boeing 747.
There is no commentary or text on this footage....just sit back and let your imagination reflect on the vast flying experience the Landor has achieved.
Thanks for watching and stay safe!

Your ticket number was 4 after mine! Was a great day and a brilliant experience! I got so absorbed in it that I actually forgot to film any footage for my own fledgling channel haha! Anyway, great video! I hope you enjoyed the event as much as I did!

Thanks Anthony, it looks like the daytime session faired better with regards the weather.

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@manchestercaptures Definitely! We were lucky when you consider that the weather forecast just 2 days before was for rain all day!

I can see myself stood outside in the queue there! 😂

I think BA made a HUGE mistake retiring this particular plane, especially with these colours. Passengers would've paid extra like they do on Lufthansa's 747.

2:55 that's a lot of seats, it almost looks like a movie theater or something!
