BA 787-10

[BWBriscoe]

I thought BA was supposed to be taking delivery of it first 787-10 this month.

Has delivery been pushed back again?

[TheAirMission]

This sunday I believe

[Meester proach]

Great timing !

[Cough]

Read on FlyerTalk that it's been pushed back again.

350s still on schedule

Are they still digging out 787-9?

Let me Google that for you.... no, it is back at LHR

[nohold]

G-ZBLA Dash 10 still at Charleston, delayed delivery for quite a while yet.

[BWBriscoe]

So apparently G-ZBLA delivery has been delayed again.

Does anyone know what is wrong with the aircraft?

[Permanent Standby]

Might not be anything wrong with it at all. They might not want to take delivery yet as they can't sell the seats, plus they might not have anywhere to park it.

I'm hearing that both G-ZBJA and G-ZBJB could be delivered next week. Does anyone have any more info?

I think you mean G-ZBLA and G-ZBLB (both BJA and BJB are -8s and were the first 787s delivered to the airline back in 2013). Nothing confirmed yet as it happens.

Photos show that the edge of the taxiway is incorrectly constructed; at the edge of the useable surface the concrete should slope down under the grass so as not to cause damage to the landing gear of aircraft should they run off the taxiway then back on again.
Had the edge been constructed correctly, they could have easily towed the aircraft out of the mud.

Sorry, I meant G-ZBLA and G-ZBLB.

G-ZBLB has now been delivered, due to land at LHR at 10:57.

Looks like inbound via Epsom hold, see if I can grab a snap...

You must have a longer lens than me mr T ;-) I took an anaemic couple of shots from a distance, and even managed to garner a dirty look from the lady living across the street who probably thought I was spying on her.

Not much use of these as yet, BLA did a scheduled service last Saturday LHR-DFW-LHR carrying cargo but nothing since then i dont think
