Like 99.9% of books ever published. What's with all the anti-portrait rage these days?!
The 747 is a perfect shape to look at with vertical alignment.
As I was taught back in the 80s; look at your subject. Now, turn the camera to portrait. Look again and choose.

BA won't admit it but that's the case - Thank you to that t**t Simon Calder for heading up the Rebellion Lot to the notice in his Travel article of running the GLA,MAN & NCL flights would be bad for the climate...Dick!
So, I doubt now that BA would entertain any such flights - Ian Allan used to be the ones who arranged such jollies.
I suppose anyone could charter a plane and try to sell the seats if you have the right contacts and are prepared to underwrite the costs - I would imagine it would be a sell out PDQ.
Now, there's a thought, where's my phone?

So how does the 3rd runway and airport extension at LHR fir in with Greta's gang etc? The pollution and energy useage associated with all the construction work must surely offend her, so why no huge protests to stop any airport expansion?
Meanwhile in other places, such as China, the building of new airports continues unabated.....

The current BA scheme has a white radome, and it sounds like one of those has been fitted to the retro BOAC 747. Whether fixing it soon will be a priority remains to be seen - I hope so, but fear not.
G-BYGC has had one of the "off-white" noses fitted, I believe it was switched on Sunday as this was photographed the same day with the change
It looks a little odd, mind you, both Landor and BEA had mismatched engines re-matched pretty quickly, it just depends whether now after #ba100 there is a willingness or just let them become the new "Doves" where which looked very bitty and blue after a while. Aer Lingus let EI-DVM fly with a white nose for ages but this one has also just gone for a respray
