What's with 'Chatham Historic Dockyard'?
I flew back from JFK yesterday on 'G-TECH', and mistakenly thought it was the only aircraft named 'Chatham Historic Dockyard'. After I did a search on Airliners.net, I discovered that the name is applied right across the BA fleet... 737s, 747s, 757s, 767s, 777s!!!
What's that all about then? I guess it's linked to the livery, but I'd be interested to hear the story behind it. Saw a small plaque on the aircraft, but didn't get a chance to have a read.
Finally, one of the crew told me they were going to overhaul the interiors of the 767s later in the year - long overdue, as it's like crossing the pond in a skip full of crap TVs!
