Gerby: Unfortunately since the arrival of Marshall nobody at the top end of BA has had an interest in aircraft as such. Ayling is reported to have said he positively disliked them! As result in Marshalls time the last Argonaut followed by a Comet 4 were sent to the fire training unit at Heathrow for eventual destruction. More recently the wanton destruction of the Cosford collection followed the pattern. Showing an interest in aircraft or aviation as such are both taboo in Waterside and likely to be career threatening.
Indeed, Skylion. Which is why
none of the 469 business flights I've had over the past 5 years have been with ba! Instead I've flown whenever possible with Lufthansa.
Great to see such dedication with this restoration project!!
