To think that this amazing piece of aviation technology first flew 34 years ago (in the 60's) is incredible.

If BA do break even at 34 pax + then good luck to them keeping her in the skies where she rightfully belongs .
Heaven knows they have invested enough in her in more recent times.

She is still right at the forefront of civil aviation in the 2000's and is a beautiful testament to it.



Current world climate and commercial pressure deny us of having anything close to it in the foreseeable future.

She may be a privelege to the (farepaying) few,but more than that , in a world where travel is second nature, she is the ultimate symbol . (and a stunning one too).
