I went to Heathrow with a few friends on November 6th 2010 to see the final BA B757 land after its final flight. There was a few nice types to arrive, although weather wasnt always ideal. I just thought i’d share a few pics with you, eventhough the quality isnt as great as other members here. 🙂
and the British Airways retro livery B757 G-CPET

Thankyou very much 🙂 Im glad that you like the photos. The Turkish one is an A319. It flew in a Turkish VIP (Whos car was given a police escort)
Aww thats okay, cant please everyone! The Negus livery disappeared around the time I was born so I was glad to see it this time 🙂

Very nice shots. Especially liked the Egyptair 330 and the Turkish, is that a 320?. Farewell 757 but I have to admit that I never liked that livery…..sorry;)

Wow! Thanks ever so much guys 🙂 That means alot. I am glad that you all liked the pics. I always try my best to get them as clear as possible and make the most of my camera 🙂
I was particularly pleased with my pic of G-CPET for the light on it. 🙂
I think I read that G-CPET will go to fedex december next year, but I dont know if thats true or not.

Hey AdlerTag
I think that will probably happen but i think BA want to keep it on for the delivery flight to America but im not sure because some aircraft have gone in full livery and others painted out.

Thanks Joe!
I presume she’ll lose part or all of the special livery before the delivery flight?
By: Joemicroman - 8th November 2010 at 17:34
Nice pictures (:
AdlerTag CPET will now be stored at the BA hangars where the others were and will stay in the livery until its delivery to Fedex which is in December/January I think.

Don’t worry – the quality is fine!
It’s the subject matter that counts. Many posters grossly over-sharpen and make their images appear ‘unreal’, if you get my drift.;)
I like the Egyptian best.
Keep posting, please.

Great shots all, and you got some great lighting in the G-CPET shot. I caught sight of her too that day, wonderful to see a 757 back in that livery again, and amazing to think it’s the end of the road for BA’s fleet. Thanks for sharing your pics.
Does anyone know what plans are in store for ‘ET now?
