Gordon not sure forgotten at Hatton Cross is a good definition of OK. They're made of metal and won't last forever and at least the Air France one at CDG looks impressive and will do for a few more years, People can see and experience the aircraft.
G-BBDG wasn't saved to prevent a
PR debacle, it was saved because they wanted it gone and someone was willing to take it. And I am immensely grateful and looking forward to going to Brooklands to see it. I had never seen her and always assumed she would be scrapped .
Assuming that the 20 years in the outdoors refers to G-AXDN at Duxford? Wouldn't bet on BA being that careful with their own machine as it is becoming an embarrassing reminder of something missing in the fleet.
And as the man in the know ( cos I'm from Kilmarnock too !) what's the new plan for Alpha Bravo?
