With wind gusts up to 90 mph, missed landings, damages, cancellations & diversions to other countries, I was not confident that we would make it to @HeathrowAirport. The Iberia A340 greased the 1st attempt. Love the Rolls-Royce Trent 500 wet impact on the tarmac on touchdown 🌬
British Airways has been bringing the A380 back to @HeathrowAirport from storage at Châteauroux. The latest [G-XLEC] arrived last night for checks
It's official: British Airways, the largest B747 operator, is scrapping their entire Jumbo fleet with immediate effect. 1st major hint was the ending of crew training earlier this year. Boeing stopped production & Virgin has already retired their B747s. Good night Jumbo Jet 😓👋
While Air France is terminating its A380 fleet, Lufthansa removing it from Frankfurt & Emirates seeking to scrap orders - British Airways sent G-XLEH to Manila for heavy maintenance. That indicates that at least BA will keep the quad-jet around for a 'whale' longer 🐋
Back in the Concorde days, if you left London or Paris for New York in the evening, the sun would rise again after reaching cruising speed.
Sun: "I think I'm gonna set now" 👋🏼
Concorde: [puts sunglasses on] "Not on my watch" 😎
Time machine, please 🙏🏼
Boeing 777 & 787 are the most active long-haulers in the BA fleet during the pandemic. Many are used for cargo - bringing hospital devices, medicines and protective equipment from China. This one was delivered 6 years ago @HeathrowAirport 🌏
Happy World Pilots' Day 👨✈️👩✈️ Here from @British_Airways A350 cockpit when it was brand new @HeathrowAirport
This Queen [G-CVIX] has been quarantined in the Spanish aircraft graveyard Teruel with some of BA's oldest B747s. The seniormost B747 there is 27 years - what a durable piece of engineering! Bring her back after the pandemic, pretty please. She's only 21 👼 #QueenOfTheSkySaturday
Higher Love 💙
Without it, life is wasted time.
Things look so bad everywhere.
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see.
Fallin' behind in what could be.
Bring me that Higher Love ☁️ 💙 ☁️ 🎶
The BA A380 [G-XLEH] is ready to fly off to Hong Kong tomorrow, whilst the rest of the nation stays at home under a new lockdown regime 👋
All these Boeings would be flying if these were normal times. Hope this doesn't mean the Queen will retire early 🙏
Queen's terminal at #London @HeathrowAirport is really T5 B
Mamma mia! Italian themed main on the A320 as British Airways has cancelled all flights to Italy. Gnocchi, sun dried tomato, pine nut pesto & bocconcini. Plus bulgur, tomato, feta, black olive tapenade & Somerset camembert and Applewood Cheddar with Olde English chutney 🇮🇹 🇬🇧
B777, B747, A350 & Land Rover Defender @HeathrowAirport 🇺🇲 🇲🇫 🇬🇧
