Arrived 16Sep12 according to W&W24
Thank you David. I knew it wasn’t at Brize since 1992 as I have pictures at Coventry still in 2000 and was definetly still at Lyneham in 2008.
G-AMPO was moved from Coventry to Lyneham 22th Sep 2001and painted as KN566 for use as a gate guard at Lyneham. Not sure what has happened to it since Lyneham closed ?
I dont think there is an example with the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection but there is XS743 at Boscombe Down which retired last year with XS770/G-HRHI used as a spares source which came from Cranfield. The 206 which was at Brooklands was about twenty years ago before moving to Kemble, then Shoreham and is now displayed at the FAST Museum, Farnborough. This is G-ARRM. The Bristol Aero Collection which was at Kemble now at Filton also have the cockpit section of G-ATDD which used to be in the Science Museum. As correctly stated there is a Basset at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry
I last photographed it myself at Lee on Solent Hovercraft Museum open day on 9th September 2007.

Whilst searching I found another one of it at Tesco in Feltham January 2009
N147DC is operated by Aces High and still flies and the South African aircraft arrived by air a few years ago but I don’t think has flown since.
There are two Dakotas based at Dunsfold.
Taken from their web site
Wings Museum, Unit 1, Bucklands Farm, Brantridge Lane, Near Balcombe, West Sussex RH17 6JT.
Nice pictures. Good to see some from a different location. Nice prop blur on the taxying aircraft but you might like to try a slower shutter speed on some of the others. Most of them have frozen the prop stationary.
The above links don’t appear to link to the actual pictures just Airliners.net in general
As well as my aerial shots of G-AWNA on the previous link to history of ‘NA here is an aerial shot of the ex Olympic aircraft.
Thanks for all the pictures. Good to see so many of them recorded.
Don’t forget the other B747 G-AWNA which arrived after being withdrawn by BA which arrived 14th November 1998. It is a shame that this particular aircraft was broken up as it was the first on the UK register and the first series 100 delivered new to BOAC.
At the time it was the longest serving and highest time B747 still flying by it’s original owner. TT 102,151 when retired.
The nose section of the Istanbul Airlines L1011 Tristar TF-ABP still survives at North Weald or it was when I saw it a couple of years back.
G-AVHE Viscount nose section now displayed on the roof of the terminal building at Stuttgart.
