Amazingly i saw the front door open on that lovely B747 parked at LGW the other day, I have now heard a rumour that it was being cleaned, and then being flown back to BKK on 3 engines!
Anyone know if this is right, have got so used to seeing it, can't belive it might be going!

I heard a story that the LGW fire brigade had to offload the catering that had been on board for several months wearing full Breathing Apparatus. Lovely job if true! :yuk:

I think you may find that the a/c would require hangarage before it would be permitted to depart anywhere. The a/c might be permitted a ferry flight with a small amount of repair work, or it well end up as a Gatwick Queen.

Last I heard was that it is due to depart on Wed 30th on a 3 engined ferry. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aha, any of you guys know what the plane is in the BA hangar, looks like an Air France 747!!!!!
