    Maybe we will see Monarch cancel the 787 orders!!

    I believe that the sole 767 is due to return to Thomas Cook at the end of this summer too!

    I flew on the A300 last summer from MAN to Dalaman and am unfortunetly due to fly on the A300 again this summer – not the most comfortable of planes around!! Almost as tatty as the DC-10 Monarch had just before it was parted out with.

    I normally like the look of the C-17 and the livery of Qatar ac but put the two together and I’m not sure!

    Don’t be too hard oin them or jump to conclusions aboutthe ac, you may have been there on a bad day.

    I’m sure the graffiti on G-BOAD is caused over time and not just on one day! I’m not being completly negative about the ac because the exterior of the ac looked very good, its just a shame that its not all well looked after.

    That’s strange .. recent posts here do not make mention of such terrible shape?

    Makes for some interesting reading. Thanks for the link. Seems like G-BOAD had a much worse life at Brooklyn before it was moved to Intrepid. I have to admit the exterior of the aircraft was in extremly good condition however like previously mentioned seeing graffiti on the interior though is some what appauling. Surely the museum should look at having guided tours and not to just let people have unsupervised tours of the aircraft.

    It would be amazing to see that!!. All those years of her running and we hardly ever noticed, we all took it for granted, as soon as she stops running we all crave to see her again!. I suppose it’s like most things in life.

    Check out a few pics of her on my site, quite a dull day so not the best of shots, but still more than acceptable!

    Glad to see a Concorde well looked after. It makes me want to come down to Filton to make up for the disapointment of seeing G-BOAD in New York.

    I’m surprised that none of the old BA Concorde pilots haven’t had more influence on the preservation of the fleet. Personally if I had have been in charge of such a lovely aircraft in the past I would be so upset to see the state of some of them now!

    Was there not some talk lately about BA selling G-BOAB to Dubai to have it displayed alongside the QE2 ?

    Its a real shame that G-BOAB wasn’t put on display inside Terminal 5. I really don’t think that certain Concordes have been given a loving home! Hopefully at least if G-BOAB goes to Dubai it will hopefully be looked after instead of being hiden at LHR.

    Are you sure it’s graffiti you saw ? When I went aboard G-BOAC at MAN a few years ago there was graffiti too, but it was just the signatured and messages left by BA staff after the final flight.

    I too have been on G-BOAC but what I saw on G-BOAD was most certainly garffiti! Things such as I woz ere 2008 is most certainly not messages left by BA crew.

    Thanks for all the moments guys 🙂

    Hello Runway32,

    yes i went down to the Pan. Its like a river down there at the moment, your safe option is to climb onto the golf course ( dont let them see you btw, they will have a fit) and walk on the edge of there, lets put it this way, my trainers arnt white no more 😮

    Danny

    I’ve not been down there for years as I always remember having to climb through over grown bushes and weeds plus the mud!! Well worth the views by the look of your photos!
