So these models are around 1988 vintage ? BA got their first 2 in the summer of 89 and I believe that United had a few before then.
I'd be more interested to see a video of them landing at Bruntingthorpe than leaving MAN. I wonder if Cathay pilots flew them on the last hop, or were they already someone else's property at that point and freelancers at the helm ? Always sad to see good condition aircraft meeting the scrappers, but reality states that the parts and scrap worth of the aircraft, minus expensive upcoming maintenance checks are the prudent course of action.
