I mean... I suppose? Do you have experience in maintenance or have some insight? I'm gonna study up on this a bit and learn more why it might be this severe, but these planes are getting older, this one is 26 years old right now!! @@lesivs
If you look up G-VIIH on youtube, there's actually a decent amount of videos on this specific plane, you can see it is definitely not the same, so it gets cleaned but to do a big deep clean it's expensive and time consuming of course, so its just not probably too frequent.@@lesivs
London landings never get old, especially with the aerial view of the greenery, the main parts of the city, the Thames, London's suburbia, and more. Still miss the usual presence of the BA 747s at Heathrow. Nice video!
Nice video! Would you be okay with me featuring this landing in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
The oily residue on the wing gives the aircraft character, it’s probably hydraulic fluid spillage from a servicing procedure and with the wind blasting over the surface it’s spread the fluid which for some reason has adhered to the surface
I recognised Pen Ponds in Richmond Park, Royal Lodge ballet school, could see my house right on the edge of the park, further down, the A 3 Kingston by pass and Kingston....Ham meadows, Twickenham riverside and Eel pie island, Marble hill park, the Stadium.....feels good !
What a grubby plane. I'd hope BA could afford the few quid to put a pressure hose over it. I've had similar problems with the autofocus out of old SAS 737 aircraft with filthy windows.
At least they got rid of that bloody awful’Landau’ livery they had in the 90’s , horrible peal white, precious looking rubbish,I bet a woman was behind that
The’Negus’ livery of the 70’s and 80’s was much better, the airline liveries are nowhere near as good as they used to be, Aer Lingus is an example, they had a great livery in the 70’s and 80’s, now they have some poncey looking computery looking thing, there’s a host of other airlines that have screwed up their great liveries, Saudia used to be great and now look at what they’ve gone and done!!!
Hi there! I just watched your video, and that catch was absolutely epic! I was wondering if it would be alright to feature it in my next video. Of course, I'll credit your channel in the description and include a link to the original video. Let me know if that works for you. Thanks a lot!
Great video! Would you kindly grant me permission to feature this clip in my next episode? I’ll ensure you’re fully credited in both the video and the description. Thank you.
Keep those wings nice and dirty, make the aircraft seem like it’s got serious airway miles on it 😎 like a knight with dented armor 💪🏽 On second thought… a dirty airfoil causes more drag 🗿 Ground Ops please give some love to my 777 Brotha 😅
@@kevin19358 I'm not too sure, I was using non-rev tickets which means I only paid for the international travelling taxes and fees and not the ticket, I think they would have been maybe $2000 ish?
No safety concern but a strange feeling for passengers about the airline quality. It c'd a little bit brake the air flow and cause light vibrations. Situation to avoid anyway
Surely someone in BA is responsible for ensuring that the planes are cleaned, to include the wings of course. This is our National carrier, and this one looks disgusting . . .
@@Auditingcontent ah, well if you can make it over and really want to pursue it, flight training is definitely cheaper over here in the U.S. Not cheap but cheaper than over there for sure

Some dirty wings 😂
Yes, yes they are lol 😅
😂
That aircraft is filthy. It says a lot about the regular maintenance program and airline has no pride.

Right on!
I definitely agree! I don't get why people are litteraly upset about it😂
They should clean the plane!
Beautiful video ❤
It's British Airways, they don't care
BA need to hook up with that guy who does those extreme car detailing shorts.
Ha yea!

@@lisejacquelinerigault2575 Super cool! Must be fun seeing your house in videos often lol
What a grubby plane. I'd hope BA could afford the few quid to put a pressure hose over it. I've had similar problems with the autofocus out of old SAS 737 aircraft with filthy windows.
Pressure hose?….they use special cleaning agents on them, it’s not a big deal it’s a working aircraft, not some flying yacht

@@DavidFennessy-yj7du *Landor.
Great to watch these massive planes coming in to land , or even taking off & away to the other side of the world.
Absolutely!
Nice video and landing
Wings and Flaps also Available in Silver/Gray !!!
Ha! Thats a good one!
Nice view of Twickenham there, the stadium and all
Yea!!
Only bit I recognise, I live in Kingston not too far !
Cool stuff! May I feature this landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!
Yes of course! I watch your videos all the time lol, thanks for asking!
This has got to be the dirtiest wing I have ever seen. I think the pilots take this 777 offroading in Alaska along those forest trails.
Yeehaw! Lol
Great Video and landing
Legend has it, The wings are only cleaned when the anti-ice comes out!, Do better BA
How much extra fuel are they burning with all that gunge sticking to it?

@@AtoZaviation11 Of course! Thank you for asking!
Some very old hydraulic leaks ✈️🤣
BA standards dropping in maintenance. Which war did this plane arrive from?
Ha!
En plus le boeing il est bien sale, très bon vol
This plane is giving me Mad Max vibes.
Love your plane capture! Can I feature it in my project with a link to your video? Thanks!
@@flightmode254 Sure! Thanks for asking!
@@BluestreakAviation Thanks for the permission
The next maintenance check, get out the Karcher spray cleaner on those flaps.
Good video, well done! But Man, if I ever saw a wing in need of a degreasing and wash it's this 777!
Yup 😂, and thanks!
I flew G-VIIH at the end of 2023 from Cincinnati to Heathrow. Same Aircraft and route and same filthy wings. Hope they have been washed since.
Ayyy! Yea ill have to check back on it lol
Great Video 😊
Thanks!
@@BluestreakAviation You’re Welcome 👍
50 shades of gray … 🤣 beautiful London ❤️🤩
Funny Comment
Yes indeed, the flight controls on the a/c were very dirty alas, I wonder if passengers were put off by them. Not a good advertisement for BA.
10:00 - Twickenham
That's one dirty birdy I will say😄
Ha! Dirty birdy I like that
Nice landing!
😄😄
I would say the same horrible dirty wing. But thanks 4 sharing your experience landing at Lhr lovely views as always
Hey thanks lol! Good to know someone likes the actual landing 😂😂
should bring a whole new meaning to the saying "Jet Wash"
Can anyone recognise the sports stadium at 10:00 minutes?
Looks like Twickenham
@@philfyphil Thank you for that, Phil. I can see it is now with the Twickenham Stoop in the background. 👍🏼
I thought it always rained in the UK. Endless free plane washes 😂
😂
Nice vid
My god those wings
That'll definitely need a deluxe tier car wash!
Ya 🙄😂
HOW DO EVEN PLANES GET DIRTY WHEN THEY ONLY PASS THROUH THIN AIR ?
They old, hydraulic leaks, dirt, oil, anything
Great video! Would you kindly grant me permission to feature this clip in my next episode? I’ll ensure you’re fully credited in both the video and the description. Thank you.
@@AviationUnscriptedUK Of course! Thanks for asking.
@@BluestreakAviation Thank you so much!
Thats soot and burn marks from the last engine fire.
The underneith is worse. It has holes in it. 😅
that’s some risky wings
Keep those wings nice and dirty, make the aircraft seem like it’s got serious airway miles on it 😎 like a knight with dented armor 💪🏽
On second thought… a dirty airfoil causes more drag 🗿
Ground Ops please give some love to my 777 Brotha 😅
Lol!
I have never in my life seen wings so dirty.
Agree! You'd never see a Japanese or Korean aircraft like that.
I could tell it’s BA just from the dirty wings on the thumbnail image
Ahh cmon, I've seen some other dirty 777s recently that aint BA 😂
Is that your 1st time flying British airways, how is it and service and how much did you pay to fly British airways?
Yes it was! The service was good they were very nice! Despite the outside look it was very nicely maintained inside lol.
I see. How about the price, do you remember how much did you pay to fly British airways?
@@kevin19358 I'm not too sure, I was using non-rev tickets which means I only paid for the international travelling taxes and fees and not the ticket, I think they would have been maybe $2000 ish?
Okay I see, wow that's expensive. Thanks.
Looks like there is a lubricant leak in the wing mechanism
Maybe, just a lot of built up dirt and grime.
Did you fly through a volcanic ash cloud? :p
Haha, nahh
It matches where it landed
Yikers
That plane has seen some stuff
those flaps have been through the trenches literally
Yeah...
Is it your camera lens so dirty or the window glass? 🤣🤣
That would be the window 😭
Someone took a photo of this plane on the same day
Personal hygiene is the most important thing !!! 🤣🤣🤣
No safety concern but a strange feeling for passengers about the airline quality. It c'd a little bit brake the air flow and cause light vibrations. Situation to avoid anyway
Oh maybe a little
Is that real
Sure is 😉
Needs a good wash and brush up looking at the wings
That needs to go to a plane wash
Surely someone in BA is responsible for ensuring that the planes are cleaned, to include the wings of course. This is our National carrier, and this one looks disgusting . . .
That's a Dirty bird
Sure is 😬
I always wanted to be a pilot for British Airways but is to expensive now
Aw man, are you in the UK?
@@BluestreakAviation yes
@@BluestreakAviation I from Oxfordshire
@@Auditingcontent ah, well if you can make it over and really want to pursue it, flight training is definitely cheaper over here in the U.S. Not cheap but cheaper than over there for sure
@@BluestreakAviation are you from America
I’m surprised there ain’t people in here blaming Boeing for the dirty ass wings
Thank god lol
some one tag BA pls this needs a wash !!
Apparently thats what we need to do! I didn't realize this video would get so many views for being so dirty and not the flight itself 😂
No way BA/AA
you have some dirts on ur left wing
There appears to be ...
The plane needs a bath
That plane ✈️ is disgusting they should be ashamed 🤨🤨🤨
This aircraft looks older than London 😂😂
Oh gosh lol
Dam BA try some soap and water.😂😂
that thang need a bath
clean those flaps pls whoa
Please wash me...
Sitting on the wrong side
I can’t stand dirty flaps!
Dirty and nasty wings, needs a dry wash.
BA FLIGHT FROM NEW YORK 😂
Wash the vings
Get the degreaser out
WRC Airplane
The plane would go faster without all that crap on the wings, shame on you BA..
One of the reasons why I avoid BA at all times. 👎
Cause the wings arent nice to look at lol?
翼汚過ぎてビビった
そろそろ退役かしら…？
Nah the plane is fine, its just visual
Very durty plane
I watch a lot of airport livestreams and BA planes are by far the dirtiest of them all. Get your act together BA
Lol yikes
Looks abit , dirty shitty , that plane ,,?
@@shaneweightman maybe a bit, lol
very outdated 777 aircrafts unfortunately , specially when you are doing more than 8 hours flights over the Atlantic ...

The state of that British airways plane pretty much sums up the state of Britain as a whole... Filthy!

The..‘state’..of the plane? It’s in good working order, it’s a working aircraft, the smudging is probably a sign of the aircraft actually having been attended to recently maybe, checking fluids etc
